Bring It All Together

Four years of training culminates with the senior project—every senior performs a repertory piece by a professional choreographer of their choice, choreographs an original work, and co-produces a concert.

Concentrate

All graduates earn a BFA in Dance Performance. Students take the same required dance courses in the first and second years, then faculty evaluate student progress and potentially recommend a concentration besides performance.
