 Well, sign that another school year is coming to an end at Bemidji State University is the annual Dance Follies Show. Josh Peterson was there for opening night and shows us how this long-running tradition continues. Before another school year wraps up, a long-standing tradition on the Bemidji State campus now has its moment in the spotlight. For 71 years, the fantastic Dance Follies provides a chance for students on campus to bust a move and show off some dancing skills. So the Dance Follies is a Bemidji State University tradition. It's something that any of the students can be involved in. Students, alumni, or faculty members can be in the show, so it kind of covers campus-wide students, which is kind of nice. Dance Follies not only showcases BSU students, but members of the community as well. While items like costuming and music may change each year, some aspects of the show always remain the same. You make sure everybody's having fun. If it's not fun, we're doing something wrong. And so that's the main thing, is that everything stays fun. I mean, everything involves music, whether it's brand new music or old music. The show features all forms of dance ranging from ballroom to hip-hop, offering something for everyone. There's a lot of really interesting people to meet, and it's genuinely fun. It's fun to express myself to music in a different way than I did in high school. With so much variety in dance and music, providing an opportunity to the community to show off their best moves keeps members of the Dance Follies coming back year after year. It's just awesome, because if they're willing to return to come and see the show again, they come much fun they must have had while they ran it. So hopefully it makes lasting memories for those involved and maybe those in the audience. With the dance floor ready, the stage is set for another glamorous showcase through a variety of dance.
