WEST LIBERTY, W.Va., March 9, 2023 — Do you think you can dance? If so and you’re an area high school junior or senior, join West Liberty University students in an all-new dance competition this spring.

“We are hosting a dance competition in the style of the popular TV show, ‘So You think You Can Dance,’ and we encourage any junior or senior high school student to complete our online registration to take part in the event now,” said WLU Professor Michael Aulick, who serves as the theater director on campus.

The competition is open to all WLU students along with all high school juniors and seniors in the state of West Virginia and the surrounding counties of what is known as the metro region of West Liberty (linked here).
