Dance Performance

The program emphasizes both performance and choreography, providing students with a broad artistic foundation through the four-year composition program and studies of music, dance history, dance production, anatomy, core curriculum courses, and a wide variety of electives.  

Program Highlights

• Conservatory-style training
• Rigorous, rich programs in classical ballet and modern/contemporary dance
• Internationally distinguished faculty, who strive to bring out the very best in technique, artistry, and creativity in each student
• Numerous performance opportunities
• Stimulating, supportive and focused community
• Proximity to the living laboratory of New York City dance companies and choreographers
• A learning environment in which students can feel safe and supported to take risks while reaching toward their highest potential as artists
• The greatest number of study-abroad programs in any dance BFA program in the United States. 

The four-year dance BFA program culminates with the senior project, for which each senior performs a repertory piece by a professional choreographer of their choice, choreographs an original work, and co-produces a concert.
