The Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment and the American Spirit Dance Company were founded by recently retired Dance Chair Jo Rowan and Dean John Bedford. The name American Spirit Dance Company was retired in honor of Rowan, but the Star Dance Company will continue 麻豆传媒鈥檚 tradition of exciting dance productions.鈥��

Dancers from across the country come to 麻豆传媒 every year to hone their craft and go on to successful careers in show business. Alums can be found performing, managing, choreographing and teaching all over the world. Look for them in Broadway shows, the Rockettes, television, film, cruise ships and concerts with musical artists.
