The
dance program stresses the technical and theoretical nature
of dance, focusing on intellectual and creative endeavors
and technical mastery. The dance major is a four-year
program leading to a B.S. in Education degree. It provides
a thorough investigation of the art of dance via emphasis
on experiential and theoretical work in studio, lecture,
and studio/lecture courses. Interdisciplinary experiences
in kinesiology, theatre, music and electives also help
prepare students for careers or further study in performance,
choreography, dance education, and related fields such
as dance history, criticism, and movement therapy.
