The Stanford Dance Division will present "Dancing: Bringin' It Home," its annual concert of works by alumni choreographers and dancers, at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, in the Roble Dance Studio, 375 Santa Teresa St. on campus.

Selected alumni who have earned reputations as leaders in the Bay Area and national dance communities have been invited to present their work. The concert will feature original choreography and performances by graduates from as far back as the mid-1970s. These individuals have continued with professional involvement in dance, either as teachers, performers or choreographers. Offerings will range in style from modern dance to vintage social dance and tango.
