About
Are you interested in fine-tuning your talent in dance? Do you want to work with world-class professionals and instructors equipped to prepare you for a career in dance performance and choreography?
The dance performance and choreography concentration prepares you for a professional performing career. Equal emphasis is placed on the core techniques of ballet, modern, and jazz. While the program provides an excellent background in these techniques to produce a versatile dancer, it also allows performance majors to specialize in one of these forms.
Extensive training in technique is augmented with required courses in dance history, improvisation, and choreography, as well as elective courses in tap, pointe, repertory, ballroom, anatomy and kinesiology. Related courses in theatre, art, and music are included in the curriculum.

The faculty are looking for dance majors who show technical ability in one or more dance forms, including appropriate alignment, use of rotation and overall movement skill, academic achievement (including writing ability), creativity, dedication to the art form, and leadership. Admitted students are those who demonstrate the potential to be successful in a rigorous academic and artistic environment, contribute positively to a creative community, and develop into dynamic and committed artists.
