Dance Minor

The dance minor is designed to work hand in hand with the B.F.A. in Dance degree to accommodate several student populations who are either seeking a minor or seeking elective credits. Courses in the dance minor serve theatre arts majors and the university by allowing access to dance courses to those across the campus and the city. The dance minor is a strong recruitment and training tool (among current and prospective students) for those not quite ready for or undecided about the BFA in Dance program. The minor is designed to prepare pre-professional dancers in a dynamic environment conducive to the highest caliber of both practice and scholarship. It will also foster cultivation of the individual’s creative, performance, and scholarly voice through exposure to diverse practical and philosophical approaches to dance studies and the development of critical thought processes. While the minor’s emphasis is on performance and choreography, the theoretical, historic, and aesthetic aspects of dance will also be stressed.

Eighteen hours are required for the Minor in Dance
