The Dance Minor offers you a comprehensive experience, providing both hands-on technical dance skills and a broad understanding of dance as a powerful art form. Through engaging studio practice in technique and creative-based classes, you'll gain foundation in dance training. You'll also cultivate a deeper appreciation for dance's expressive power. Our core courses will broaden your perspective, giving you an increased understanding of how dance has developed within a larger global context.

This minor is incredibly versatile and can be combined with any major and minor, except for a Dance major.
