The Dance program
allows participants to become aware of their physical and
creative capabilities, and to increase their understanding
of dance as an art form and a social phenomenon. Year after
year, students pursue dance as a performance art and take
advantage of the technique and theory courses in ballet, modern,
jazz, hip-hop, tap, improvisation, and ballroom styles. There
are also courses in history, aesthetics, and composition. New courses are added in noncredit program each year. Please browse.

noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words,
and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the
pen?"- Friedrich Nietzsche
