Dean College Alumni

05/04/2026

We love seeing opportunities that bring alumni back to Dean, not just to visit but to grow. This June, the Joan Phelps Palladino School of Dance is offering a one-week intensive: Mettler-based Dance Improvisation - Practice and Pedagogy, led by Dr. Mary Ann Brehm.

For our dance alumni this is a rare chance to return to campus, study with a master teacher, and deepen your practice in a meaningful way. Read more to see if this opportunity speaks to you - enrollment is limited.
