​​​​​​​​​Guest Artists

Through great financial support from the SAC Foundation and the Fine and Performing Arts Division, the Santa Ana College Dance Department provides for its students ​many training opportunities that are in addition to regular dance course curriculum. With this support, professional dance artists join the dance department to offer residencies, master classes, and/or workshops.  In addition, these artists interact with our students, teaching new approaches to technique, setting dance repertoire, and/or creating original choreography.
