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.

"Dancing in
all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all
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
