"International Dance Festival Gives Umaine students a Taste of many Cultures"

Umaine, Orono-- University of Maine students will have the opportunity to experience culture from the perspective of dance at this year's International Dance Festival. Perfomances from over 9 countries, and styles of dance that vary from belly dancing, to swing dancing, and almost everything in between.

The International Dance Festival is in its 6th year now, and is going as strong as ever. Last year saw the most success, with over 100 participants, and drew over 2,000people who attended the event. This year hopefully will be no different, as students and other contributors have been working just as hard to put on yet another unoforgettable show. Needless to say, the International Dance Festival has become a mainstay in the culture of Umaine. The performances are sure to be exciting and entertaining, while also giving Umaine students a taste of a variety of cultures.

The performance will take place at the Collins Center for the Arts this Saturday, February 20, 2010. There will be two showings, one at 2PM and the other at 7PM. Due to the generosity of several sources, including the Office International Programs, International Student association, and Student Government, and is free for Umaine students with a Mainecard.

We hope to see many students and faculty at this year's International Dance Festival.

Warmest regards,
