Philadelphia native choreographs and performs in Beloit College December Dance Workshop

BELOIT, WI (12/08/2011)(readMedia)-- A dance choreographed by Mira Treatman of Philadelphia will take place during Beloit College's December Dance Workshop Performances on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 9 and 10. Treatman is a senior and a graduate of Springside High School. She is the daughter of Jack and Ruth Treatman.

The performance titled "Seven Minutes in Heaven" is performed by her in addition to six other dancers. Treatman also designed the costumes. Also during the workshop, Treatman will perform in "Walking Waters," "Purple Swirls," and "The Cookie Jar."

These dances are among 20 student-choreographed dances to be performed during the annual December Dance Workshop. Student choreographers, who have either taken or are currently registered for choreography class, cast their pieces at the beginning of the fall semester and have been rehearsing ever since. The dances are publicly presented on two evenings, with an outside dance expert attending on the second night to give feedback and to choose which student pieces will be given an encore performance in Chelonia, Beloit College's annual dance performance in February.

Beloit College is a residential, liberal arts college offering 40 majors to its 1,250 students. Located 90 miles northwest of Chicago, Beloit is one of the nation's most international colleges, drawing students from 41 nations as well as 48 states.
