The Arts

Alma College Pipe Band, Alma College Choirs, Kiltie Dancers, and Percussion Ensemble

Excellent facilities, outstanding performance opportunities and a talented faculty distinguish the arts at Alma College. The College offers majors in art, music, theatre and dance, but rewarding opportunities to deepen involvement with the arts are open to students from all majors. In fact, more than one-quarter of all Alma students take part in at least one musical, theatre or dance performance each year.

Graduate Profile

Kristin Bender-Polizzi

Kristin Bender-Polizzi
Graduation: 1995
Major: Dance

Since graduating from Alma College, Kristin Bender-Polizzi ’95 has co-founded the Surfscape Contemporary Dance Theatre in Florida. The dance company, which she manages, features about a dozen professionally trained dancers, including Bender-Polizzi herself.

“As a shy young girl, dance was a means of expressing myself,” she says. “I was always more comfortable speaking through movement than with my voice. I love that dance is a universal language open to so many interpretations.”
