Dance | BFA | BA |
The dance major curriculum leading to the BFA or BA degree in dance offers integrated training in ballet, modern, and jazz dance technique, as well as courses in choreography, dance theory, history, and pedagogy. Students also must complete a senior project involving research in any of the above areas or choreography and performance culminating in a senior recital. Majors in the BFA program focus on technique, performance, and choreography. They also are required to take classes in Renaissance and Baroque Dance, Classical East Indian Dance, Musical Theatre Dance, and Conditioning and Injury Prevention for Dancers. The goals of these degree programs are to prepare students for professional careers in dance and further academic study. Dance majors are expected to take technique classes appropriate to their level of training each semester they are enrolled.
