The Dance program features both major and minor programs of study. The Dance major is a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. The Dance Program curriculum focuses on intellectual, creative, and technical dance endeavors, while offering interdisciplinary experiences in theatre, music and kinesiology. The program emphasizes both modern dance and classical ballet as well as a lesser focus, jazz dance. Program options are designed to expand each student's dance competencies and can be tailored to meet a student's specific dance interests and talents. Dance faculty are committed to individualized experiences and promoting professional excellence for our students. Admission to the program presently does not require an audition. All prospective students are encouraged to contact Associate Professor Deborah Tell, Dance program coordinator (see Kinesiology faculty biography). An interview, tour of the remodeled dance facilities, and individual discussions with the Dance faculty and students can be arranged at an applicant's convenience.
The Dance minor is a 25-29 hour program, serving students wishing to further develop their dance talents while majoring in another area. It is designed to complement many other BGSU majors and still allow students to graduate in eight or nine semesters.
Facilities
The Dance program is housed primarily in Eppler North, part of the $10 million renovated Eppler Complex. In addition to the faculty office suite adjacent to the student lounge, a modern, fully-mirrored ballet studio and the spacious Mary "Eli" Whitney Dance Studio serve as the Dance program's practice, rehearsal, and performance spaces. Campus dance concerts also use stage and theater facilities in University Hall and the Musical Arts Building.
