| 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM | Boogie Down Dance Day
Lehman College will host the inaugural Boogie Down Dance Day, from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 27. Participants will be able to participate in free dance classes in multiple styles ranging from hip-hop to house, and ballet to theater jazz. The day culminates with a freestyle dance battle and mixer.
The National Dance Day event, which for the last 10 years has been celebrated on the last Saturday in July, is being organized by the Black Iris Project, a New York City-based ballet collaborative that champions Black-centric choreographic works, and presented in conjunction with Lehman College and The City University of New York Dance Initiative.
Participants in Boogie Down Dance Day require no formal dance training, just a desire to learn and spend time with some of New York City’s most accomplished dancers, including one of Radio City’s Rockettes, Danelle Morgan. Classes will be held in both the Music Building and APEX athletic facility on Lehman’s campus. Prizes and scholarships to dance instruction courses will be given out throughout each class.

| 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM | CONCERT - "Holiday Pops" with the Lehman College and Community Band
The Lehman College & Community Band will celebrate the holiday season with “Holiday Pops,” a concert featuring a mix of holiday music and classics for wind band.
Led by Professor Alan Hollander of the Music Department, the ensemble will perform a wide range of works, including perennial holiday favorites Christmas Festival and Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson, another sleigh ride, “Troika” from the Lieutenant Kije Suite by Prokofiev, and a medley of Hanukah tunes entitled Festive Sounds of Hanukah.
Also featured will be a slice of Americana: Shuffleton’s Barbershop by Hayato Hirose inspired by the eponymous Norman Rockwell painting, the timeless Greensleeves arranged by prolific American composer Alfred Reed, “The Nativity” from Norman Dello Joio’s Scenes from the Louvre, and Victor Herbert’s ever popular March of the Wooden Soldiers.
Rounding out the program will be a humorous medley by David Lovrien entitled Minor Alterations: Christmas Through the Looking Glass, a game of musical hide-and-seek for the audience, in which familiar Christmas carols are transposed from major to minor keys then disguised and layered to create something new and inventive. | Speech and Theatre Building - (Lovinger Theatre) |
