Department MissionStatement:

2. Prepare StudentsCollege Goals:One Mt.SAC student and former Repertory Dance Company member, Rayven Armijo, was chosen as a top twentyfinalist for the television series "So You Think You Can Dance." Adjunct Faculty, Lee Martino, was featured as a guestchoreographer and judge on the Bravo series "Step It Up and Dance." Ms. Martino also choreographed an animatedfeature film "Alpha Omega" starring Hayden Panettiere. In addition, she choreographed two American Idol Concert Toursand received two L.A. Drama Critics Awards as well as an Ovation Award. The Dance Department and the PerformingArts Department's collaboration on bringing visual artist Rita Blitt and Parsons Dance Company was appreciated campusand community wide. Mrs. Blitt presented a lecture demonstration for over 250 high school students at Mt. SAC's annualHigh School Dance Day. Both Parson's and Blitt offered the dance students master classes, concluding with aperformance by the Parson's company members who received a standing ovation. Dance department chair, AmyNakamura worked with the students at Don Lugo high school, choreographing an award winning dance piece that placedin the national division at USA National Competition. The Mt. SAC student choreographers and performers workeddiligently during the Spring semester to create a successful Student Dance Concert. The Fall Repertory Dance Concertwas also a success as the students performed works from five faculty members and six guest choreographers. The Mt.SAC pilates studio in Bldg. 21-26 was featured in "Pilates Magazine" advertising the Pilates Stik TM. The Mt. SACRepertory Dance Company attended the American Dance College Festival Association at University of California Irvine.The students were able to participate in a one week long dance conference taking from various teachers in a variety ofdisciplines. Two dance pieces were presented for adjudication, one being choreographed by two students and the otherby adjunct faculty, Michelle Shear. Full time Faculty Karol Ritz has drafted nine new Pilates courses and two certificateswhich will be submitted this Spring. She also received a Pilates Certifiaction from Long Beach Dance Conditioning whileon sabbatical last year.

Previous YearAccomplishments:

1.Continuing trends and multiplying programs in Dance media (Television Programs that popularize certain dance forms,i.e. ballroom, hip hop, contemporary) affect enrollment and the need to add more class sections and/or faculty.2.A resurgance of regional and professional dance companies and conferences in the West affect the need to orientateand prepare our students for these changes in the dance world.3. Trends in technology (i.e.youtube, myspace, facebook) that advertise and connect the dance world affect enrollmentand the need to add more class sections and/or faculty.4. Progression and popularity of the Pilates method creates a need to implement a Pilates mini certificate courseoffering.5. Current recession has affected enrollment and impacted classes due to job loss and affordability of communitycolleges.

08-09 External Conditions:

1.Due to budget cuts, the Dance department's Summer 09 course offerings were cut by 60% and Fall 09 course offeringswere cut by 5%.2.Currently the department offers over 40 class sections per semester with 2 full time faculty and 6 part time faculty.Therefore it is imperative to hire a third full time faculty member.2. The department is working on a Pilates mini certificate program that would increase curriculum and class offeringsresulting in the need for another full time faculty position.
