Dance Minor
Students in the dance program have opportunities in choreography, technique, research and performance. Our dance minor is enhanced by Orchesis, a dance company in which students engage in collaborative, practice-led artistic research and dance production. Dance composition and critical feedback are emphasized as students are guided and encouraged to develop their own creative and performing abilities. Technique courses revolve around the current practices of contemporary dance. Theory and history courses are also offered on a regular, rotating basis.
Degree Requirements

Plus four more courses in Dance, with at least two semesters of dance technique. The remainder of course credits can be planned in consultation with the dance faculty. Only one semester of the 2-credit DNC ORC may apply toward the minor.
