Dance – Performance and Choreography Minor

The Dance – Performance and Choreography Minor provides students majoring in other disciplines with the opportunity to develop technical dance skills, creative expression, and a deeper understanding of dance as an art form. Students gain hands-on experience in performance, choreography, and production. This minor can also serve as a pathway into the dance major sequence.

The minor enhances students’ kinesthetic knowledge and performance presence, which can be applied in any career that requires physical skill and confidence. Through courses in dance composition, dance production, and dance history/cultural studies, the Dance Performance and Choreography minor also emphasizes the creative process, knowledge of how to produce a stage concert, and how to understand dance in socio-cultural and historical contexts. Our graduates have applied these skills and concepts in fields as diverse as education, publishing, journalism, anthropology, communication, social work, physical therapy, acting, broadcasting, and many more.
