VENTURA: Presented by the Fall 2007 Dance Performance class, 'Dancin' On The Edge' is a variety dance concert comprised of student and guest artist choreography and performance, directed by CathyJean Butter. The concert will be held at the Ventura College Theatre on Loma Vista Road on the north side of the campus. Parking is available in the West lot next to the Theatre.

This semester's concert includes choreography taught to the students by recent EDGE graduates Devin Fulton (Ventura's own), Kandis Mak and Marlon Pelayo. EDGE is an acclaimed LA based dance program specifically meant to train professional commercial dancers.
