Cross-Endorsement in Dance Teacher Certification

The Dance Education cross endorsement may be pursued along with any other education major. The Department of Theatre offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree in Dance Performance, as well as a dance minor. As a result, the CCSU dance program has two homes; The Department of Physical Education & Human Performance in the School of Education and Professional Studies and Theatre in the Carol A. Ammon School of Arts and Sciences. CCSU’s dance program is committed to teaching dance education as our primary focus.

Dance education embraces pedagogy, personal development, wellness, technical dance training, growth in knowledge and skills, and exploration and application of creativity.
