LaRissa McKean (center), junior from Omaha, Neb., dances at Point B Dance in Lawrence for 15 hours or more each week.
Students balance time between school, dance
CASSIDY RITTER

For many students, the time commitment for school alone is a lot to manage and having a job adds to the stress. But imagine finding time for 15 hours of dance practice a week, in addition to 16 hours of classes. This is LaRissa McKean's weekly challenge.
McKean, a junior from Omaha, Neb., is a level one dancer for Point B Dance in Lawrence and has been with the company for five shows. Being a level one dancer means a larger time commitment. McKean is in the dance studio once or twice a day, Monday through Thursday, along with weekend rehearsals every so often.
With an upcoming dance recital, McKean's time is spread even thinner. Her days start around 5:30 or 6 a.m. and end around 1 or 2 a.m. In between her classes at the University, she is at home studying or at the dance studio rehearsing.
In order to keep it all straight, McKean relies on her planner, which is packed with times for each event. When all else fails,
she calls her mom to walk her through it.
Aside from working out to de-stress, McKean relies on her company members at Point B Dance.
It's always figuring out where my priorities are," McKean said. "And my priorities change a lot because everything I do is important to me."
"The support system I got from them was something I hadn't experienced," McKean said, "and having it in college really helps escape from stress. And I like to be super involved, I always have been — so when I didn't have dance it was awful, but having so much dance calms me down." Emily Jones, junior from Lindsborg, is a first-year dance member at Point B Dance and also deals with the time balance of school and dance.
"It's a nice way to relieve stress," Jones said. "You know, you can kind of show what you are feeling when you are dancing. It's something different than what I normally do and it's kind of an escape."
Both Jones and McKean are
busier than ever with their up-
coming recital on Nov. 9 at 7:30
p.m. The recital will be held at the
Lawrence Arts Center at 940 New
Hampshire St. Tickets are on sale
now for $10.
Cathy Patterson, owner and director of Point B Dance in association with AIM Dance Company, said members have been rehearsing for this performance since August and have spent 12-15 hours a week in the studio. Patterson said the theme for the Nov.9 recital is phobias and fears.
"Emotions can be portrayed through dance by the dynamics of movement," Patterson said. "Movement has qualities such as fast/slow, strong/light, direct/ indirect, and these qualities are manipulated in the choreographic process to represent an emotion. In our show, fear is explored through dynamic movement qualities — the creative use of props representing the source of the phobia, and the dancer's personal experiences and expressions."
