Bachelor of Arts in Dance |
Dance at Oberlin integrates academic learning with personal experience, leading students to become creative problem solvers and to connect abstract concepts to the physical reality of their bodies. The department focuses on four areas of study: creation and performance, critical inquiry, physical techniques, and somatic studies. We also offer classes in arts management, design, and production. Our faculty are renowned artists and scholars working at the interdisciplinary forefront of dance studies. The department’s curricular pathways include courses in West African, samba, contact improvisation, hip hop, and various approaches to contemporary technique. Combining rigorous dance training with a broad liberal arts education, our program prepares students to dance not just in the studio, but in the world.
