DEGREES OFFERED

Minor in Dance


The Contemporary Dance minor is offered through Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts. This page outlines requirements for the minor. Lang students who major in The Arts at Lang (BA The Arts) also have the option to pursue the Arts in Context concentration, in which they can study dance along with a liberal arts discipline. For example, students can study dance criticism and journalism by taking courses through Literary Studies and Writing. Part of the interdisciplinary arts curriculum at Lang, the Contemporary Dance program offers a unique undergraduate curriculum centered on recent developments in the field, combining intensive practice and performance opportunities with a rigorous liberal arts education. The curriculum emphasizes research and experimentation, while fostering a sense of social responsibility. Studying dance at Lang is not just about learning the history of the discipline or training to become a performer or choreographer; it also involves looking to dance in order to think about the world. Dialogue takes place across artistic genres and students are encouraged to think about dance in social, historical, and cultural contexts, employing a variety of disciplinary lenses. Students learn to think critically about their art, and they graduate with skills that enable them to explore, research, and engage in thoughtful discourse about whatever discipline they choose to pursue, whether dance or a related field. Many courses in the Contemporary Dance curriculum are suitable for students with any degree of previous experience, and the participation of nonmajors is encouraged.
