While most of us were preparing for the holidays, UNCG Dance Professor and Department Head Janet Lilly was teaching dance in China. Lilly spent two and a half weeks teaching Contemporary Dance and Choreography at Shaoguan University in Guangdong Province. She spent time teaching pedagogy classes to instructors at the university, worked with students to choreograph 2 short pieces for an informal performance, and presented a lecture on contemporary choreographers. Lilly also took advantage of an opportunity to visit the Guangxi Province with UNCG Visiting Dance Scholar Yiling Fu. Liu Jingying, Shaoguan University student, said that Lilly’s instruction was, “a pleasant change of atmosphere. Thank you for your fun lesson.”
