Dancers on stage at WCU. A dancer stands center stage in a powerful pose, wearing a green dress with arms extended upward, as if reaching toward the sky. She is illuminated against a deep blue background, which creates a dramatic and intense atmosphere. Surrounding her on the floor are several other dancers, lying in a circle around her, dressed in soft, neutral-colored costumes. They are positioned with their arms outstretched, creating a sense of unity and contrast with the standing figure, who appears to be the focal point of the scene. The overall effect is one of grace, strength, and harmony.Education
