Dance In Dialog 2022
The Dance Program is a supportive community of artists exploring movement and the creative process. We combine intellectual inquiry with physical/experiential learning and emphasize student-driven, original work. Our program respects the tradition of live theatre, and our need to be together in person, as well as the new possibilities that technology has to offer.We offer a Dance BA, Dance Minor, Mind-Body Wellness Minor and Multimedia Performing Arts BFA which integrates dance, theatre and media arts. Our dance technique core includes West African and Afro-Caribbean dance, Latin dance, street styles, ballet and modern. We welcome everyone! You don’t have to be a dance major to perform, create or take classes.
