Florida State University's School of Dance presents "An Evening of Dance," an annual event that showcases the ingenious choreography and wide range of performance talent of the school's students and faculty.

Performances for "An Evening of Dance" will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 19, and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20, at the Nancy Smith Fichter Dance Theatre in Montgomery Hall. The concert series offers a captivating and diverse arrangement of classical, contemporary and modern pieces.

"Students' and faculty's devotion to their craft and distinction in the field of dance is undeniable, making for a memorable and thrilling event," said Anjali Austin, chair of the School of Dance.

An excerpt of legacy artist and choreographer Ronald K. Brown's work, "Four Corners," set to the music of Carl Hancock Rux, will be restaged by eight current students and alumni performers.

Brown's choreography blends modern dance and West African influences to portray figures as they seek a life of peace and freedom with the help of "the angels in their corners."
