Next year, students will not be able to take dance instead of regular Physical Education (PE). Because the new Athletic Director Chris Horpel will be teaching PE classes, the department will no longer have room to accommodate a dance teacher.

Furthermore, the department would have had to hire a new dance teacher to keep the program going, because current instructor Bambi Fleeman's contract expires at the end of this year. The department may reinstitute the dance program the year after next when former dance teacher Allison Rockwell returns from maternity leave.

The Titan Dancers, Titan Rhythmz and the Ballroom Dancing Club will need to find new sponsors and new places to rehearse. The PE department is still deciding what to do with the dance room, but it may be used by the Advanced Fitness class.
