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.
