The Repertory Dance Group (RDG) had their fall show, \u201cDancing on Sunshine,\u201d this past weekend at Wilson High School. In honor of that, we thought we\u2019d tell you a bit about the history of the RDG at Puget Sound.<\/p>\n

RDG was founded in 1996 as a student-run dance group. Performances are choreographed by students and the club welcomes everyone, no matter what their dance background is, through their \u201cno-cuts\u201d audition process. The group had their first performance, titled \u201cA Taste of Things to Come,\u201d in 1997 with only 18 dancers. RDG quickly gained popularity on campus. The November 18<\/a>, 1999<\/a> issue of The Trail <\/em>reports that there were 90 dancers and 15 different dances in the show \u201cDancin\u2019 Groovin\u2019\u201d that year. The performance took place in Norton Clapp Theater and the students performed three shows. The November 16, 2000<\/a> issue of The Trail<\/em> reports that the RDG shows had sold out for the past two years and \u201cwill most likely do the same this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

RDG is composed of a diverse group of students that come together because they love to dance. Everyone who auditions performs in the show and the club has enjoyed great success over the past two decades.<\/p>\n

The Archives & Special Collections<\/a> has drop-in hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM or is open by appointment.<\/p>\n
