The Dance Minor is designed to expose students to a range of movement genres, the basics of stagecraft, and a glimpse into dance’s socio-cultural significance. Frequently chosen in tandem with a major in Theatre Arts, and valuable to other degree programs like Film, Performance Studies, and Kinesiology, the Dance Minor provides students a creative outlet that refines body and mind and can deepen understanding of bodies moving through time and space.
