Dance Degree Options The BFA in Dance Performance, offers professional preparation which includes extensive study in Studio Technique, Choreographic Studies and Dance Theory. The focus of this degree is the development of dancers, who will enter the professional world of dance/arts as performers and choreographers. Students select an emphasis in ballet or modern dance, although extensive study of both is required. It is our belief that these two techniques combine to develop a dancer/choreographer who is primed for the professional world of the 21st century. Beyond the expectation for continuing opportunities for performance, students selecting the BFA will develop and present solo and group Senior Choreographic Projects. The BA in Dance Studies is developed to explore the potential study of dance related to a spectrum of individual interests. It is designed to provide students with a comprehensive core of study in dance while encouraging the development of an individualized program through a focused selection of elective courses. A student with additional interest in another area [i.e., African Studies, Anthropology, Education, Communications, Women’s Studies, Theatre, History, Religious Studies, Psychology, etc.] would complete focused study in that area along with the core of study in dance. Each student would be required to develop a final Independent Project incorporating dance with their focused study. The Dance Minor is designed to provide students with a scope of experiences in dance, which includes studio technique, creative studio studies and dance theory. The student seeking a Dance Minor should arrange to meet with the academic advisor in dance.
