For all three directors, dancing has been a passion in all of their lives from very young ages. According to Pfneisl, dancing is like any other hobby or sport, and is what "gets me through all of the stressful times."
"It's all about the coordination of one's mind and body," she said. "It's become an addiction. It's a way where I can leave the outside world behind."
Pfneisl, who is double majoring in dance and speech communication, is taking almost 30 credits this semester, 18 of them academic. Even with hours of practice and rehearsal each day, she still can't imagine her life without dance.
"Sometimes there has to be sacrifices," Pfneisl said. "Some semesters I dance more and some I dance less, but I'm still dancing."
As for Callear, her dance experience went from being very energetic when she was younger to bit more subdued as she got older. But when she was planning on attending CSU for veterinary science and realized that there was a dance program, her major immediately changed.
"Dancing has always been in my life," Callear said. "The way it makes me feel and how it is just a way to release things if I'm having a bad day has created this something inside to love dance."
Callear's dance in Studio Night reflects her love of dance, as well as her life. Callear choreographed a dance that reflects the ups and downs of her relationships and life, and is dedicated to her friends and family that have always supported her.
"There have been hard times," she said. "I applied these to my piece and feel that it reflects my personal relationships through dance."
For Robinson, her motivation and desire to dance are much the same as Callear and Pfneisl. Dancing since the age of four, Robinson has taken dance seriously for so long that she is highly motivated by learning new technique and doing the best at what she tries.
"Dancing is my release in life where if I'm dancing for myself it becomes stress free," she said. "I'm motivated by the fact that I've always loved dancing, so I don't quit until I get something right. My goal is to keep improving my technique and performance."
