OCU’s Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment was founded by recently retired Dance Chair Jo Rowan and Dean John Bedford to create the first dance program in America to offer degrees specializing in entertainment dance forms of tap, jazz, and musical theatre dance. Our namesake Ann Lacy played an important role providing support needed to bring Jo Rowan and Dean John Bedford’s vision to full reality. We continue to be named in the top 10 collegiate dance programs and alumni can be found performing, managing, choreographing, and teaching all over the world. This season is dedicated to the memory of Ann Lacy. We are forever grateful for her passion, love, and support.
