Fresh Dance, a showcase of SUNY New Paltz Dance Department, is a yearly event where undergraduate dancers develop individual pieces and then team up with senior design students to design a showcase of many different movement and dance performances.

Occasionally, other dance groups are brought in to augment or to be featured in the show. Visiting pieces typically require the most senior experienced lighting designers.

"Goddess of Love and Light" was a unique display by Serpentessa. She was part of the visiting performers from Rhinebeck Dance Association's Bellydance troupe. This performance not only displayed outstanding dancers, it also featured 3 live snakes, the largest of which was over 5 ft in length. Her costume was an original creation by SUNY New Paltz Costume Design Students.
