The Florida State University School of Dance will present its annual "Days of Dance" performances this month, featuring two distinct programs, each with a collection of works choreographed and performed by students and faculty.

For more than 50 years, "Days of Dance" has been a hallmark of the season for FSU Dance, offering the Tallahassee community an opportunity to experience the breadth and caliber of work being created and performed in the studios and on the stages of Montgomery Hall.

"We are incredibly excited to share our 2026 Days of Dance performances," said Helanius J. Wilkins, Chair of the School of Dance. "The incredible range of the programming, including Tap, Ballet, African-Diasporic and Contemporary works, showcases the multitude of voices and perspectives that make up our School of Dance. There's something for everyone who loves dance, so please come join us, and enjoy both programs if you're able."
