Experience the power of transformation in Latent Heat, the 2025 ASU Dance Transitions Concert.

Featuring capstone creative works by ASU’s seniors in dance, this evocative performance explores the energy that drives life’s transitions. Inspired by the scientific concept of latent heat—the energy exchanged during a change of state—each piece captures the tension, release, and emotional storytelling that define the human journey. Join us for an unforgettable evening where movement becomes a profound expression of connection, growth, and change. Witness the artistry of a new generation as they bring these themes to life. Over the course of two weekends, Latent Heat will present fourteen distinct dance pieces, each exploring different facets of this energetic exchange.
