Dance Minor
The minor in dance is designed to provide students with an overview of the field of dance, knowledge and experiences in dance technique, as well as theory, performance, choreography, production and teaching skills. In addition, it enables students in any major to continue to pursue their love of dance.
Dance classes are taught in the lovely dance studio located in G-6, Fine & Performing Arts Center. Equipped with extensive sound equipment, WiFi capability, and plenty of educational journals and videos, the space enables innovative approaches to the coursework in addition to providing the students with a great atmosphere for practice.
Students in the dance program are deeply involved in service-learning and learning-by-doing activities in courses required for the minor.
