If you are interested in majoring in dance, it is likely that you have a good understanding of the physical techniques required. However majoring in dance allows you to view, analyze and appreciate dance through historical and cultural perspectives that inform and enhance your previous knowledge of dance. We offer a variety of coursework and training in ballet, modern, jazz, tap, improvisation, composition, dance history, dance pedagogy, independent study, and more.
Our program focuses on giving you the knowledge you need to hone your technical and creative skills through safe dance practices. We do this through opportunities to work with faculty and guest artists. Our small class sizes mean you have ample opportunities to perform, choreograph and design for productions. Our dance students are featured in three major productions throughout the year. The Fine Art Department offers scholarships to help offset the cost of tuition. We encourage you to audition in person, however, if you are unable to we can arrange a digital audition.
