Our program offers a wide variety of opportunities for anyone interested in dance -- from beginning enthusiast to advanced dancer. Our curriculum engages students in the exploration of dance as a cultural phenomenon, physical discipline, social activity, and performing art. Students have the opportunity to take courses in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, aerial (silks, hammock, lyra, low flying trapeze), musical theatre, ballroom, composition, improvisation, dance history, performance and production. We teach students the creative and technical skills essential to the artistic process of dance, supply them with knowledge of the dance discipline, and provide experiences and activities for all who love dance.
Beginner courses are offered, so no dance experience is required to minor in dance.
Students entering the minor with previous dance training can forgo beginner level
courses and be permitted into Intermediate/Advanced level courses. Contact Professor
Cara Harker for details.
