University College and Extension Services (UCES) at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) is proud to announce our 2nd Annual Masters of Dance Seminar (MODS) to be held on Saturday, March 28, 2009 from 8:00am – 3:00pm in the CSULB Walter Pyramid with keynote speaker, Carrie Ann Inaba.
MODS brings together industry professional dancers and choreographers from Broadway, ballet, world-touring companies, music videos, film and television. The unique experience provides participants with an opportunity to see and hear, first hand, the vast industry opportunities available. At last years MODS Carrie Ann awarded three dance scholarships to K. McManus a high school senior who had only started dancing 3 years prior; C. Price a 13 year-old ballet pointe student and S. Beachley a junior high school 7th grader who loves ballroom dancing.
By attending MODS's 2nd annual event, participants have the opportunity to not only be exposed to a rich mix of information in a fun and professional environment, but to work with each master instructor in a group setting; learning steps, perfecting techniques, asking questions, and gaining knowledge of the history and nuance of each dance style. The day will culminate with Carrie Ann Inaba awarding more dance scholarships.
For the first time this year a Dance Showcase has been added following the seminar that will highlight various professional and non professional dance groups from industry, schools, colleges, and private studios. If you are interested in participating in the dance showcase, please contact: Marvin Mayo at mmayo@uces.csulb.edu or (562) 985- 2889.

This week Carrie Ann is reaching out in the dance community in a whole new way! On November 13th, 2008 Carrie Ann will be participating in Dréa's Dream, a pediatric dance therapy program for children with cancer, funded by The Andréa Rizzo Foundation. This event marks the beginning of an ongoing program for the young patients at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA.
The Andréa Rizzo Foundation is the only non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization in the country whose sole mission is to provide dance/movement therapy to children with cancer and special education needs under the direction of registered dance therapists.
Carrie Ann Inaba believes strongly in the healing effects of dance therapy and has generously offered her support for this cause. She will attend the "kick-off" and participate in this very first dance therapy session on November 13th, bringing added smiles and excitement to the children and families at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA!
