About the course

The dance major involves students in creative inquiry, embodied, inventive collaboration, and skillful expression of ideas in order to prepare them for lives of leadership, service, and excellence in the arts, culture, and business of the future. Each student in the dance major explores performance, training, design, technology, and research in a multifaceted liberal arts context in order to develop individual identities as artists and the abilities to work collaboratively in a diverse workplace. The degree provides an excellent broad-based foundation for work in the arts or entertainment professions or for further training at graduate schools or conservatories. The program?s liberal arts emphasis prepares graduates for a variety of occupations in multiple performance fields, as well as non-performance fields.

　　Successful completion of the BA Dance degree will allow the student to apply for positions in performing arts companies, colleges and professional schools as dancers, instructors, choreographers and dance technicians. It will provide a seamless transition to graduate programs in dance performance and education as well as K-12 credential programs. Other professional uses include being an independent artist in dance or related disciplines, producing dance events and promoting the performing arts or similar events. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong skills set, a knowledge base for critical thinking and a set of ethical values appropriate to enter a professional setting. Moreover, graduates of this program will also be competitive in associated fields such as Community Dance Workers, Dance Therapist and Arts Management.
