Students receive hands-on training in dance techniques and multiple styles, choreography and movement studies while also developing theatre production and performance skills. The curriculum supports collaborative creative projects that build both expressive and technical capabilities; annual student/faculty dance concerts and other campus performances offer platforms to present work.
