Dance Minor

The dance minor welcomes students from across campus who are interested in incorporating embodied learning into their college experience.  

Dance minor students form a close-knit, nurturing, and rigorous community in which they develop their dance skills and knowledge while pursuing other fields of study. The minor trains dancers in the mutually dependent and interactive skills of performance, choreography, and teaching through both classroom and experiential learning. Fundamental to the training of the dancer is the cultivation of artistry, technique, as well as the ability to articulate this knowledge through movement and writing.

Students from all across campus perform in Dancescape, the annual departmental dance concert featuring original works by students, faculty, alumni, and guest artists. Students work side-by-side with professionals, gaining mentorship and earning academic credit for their work in performance, choreography, management, and production.
