The Dance Program at UTEP Presents ”Iconic Pop,” a celebration of pop music legends and those breaking new ground in the genre. Choreographed by the dance faculty, the evening promises dynamic dancing to an entertaining mix of old favorites and new hits.

Myron Howard Nadel pays homage to music greats like Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash. Lisa Smith’s “Psychdelia” is a trippy tribute to the music and culture of the late 1960s. “Heartstrings,” choreographed by Leanne Rinelli, explores the ideas of love, lust and heartache through the music of Latino pop icons such as Julieta Venegas, Natalia Lafourcade, Mana and Juan Gabriel; with guest artists from Mountain Movement Dance Company.

Choreographed by UTEP Dance Faculty with special guests from Mountain Movement Dance Company
