Dance

Majors earn the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in either theatre or dance. The BFA curricula are intended for professional careers, allied fields or graduate study. The specialization area in dance is performance. This BFA also is offered at the New World School of the Arts in Miami.

In addition, the department also offers a minor in dance.

Admission is selective and students must audition successfully. Dance auditions may be scheduled throughout the year. Students audition in two technique classes of different styles, one class at intermediate level or higher. A résumé also is required. Video audition tapes will be considered. Performance audition ratings may be used for placement level in studio course sequences. Students must consult the department adviser for specific information regarding selective admission protocols.

Students must receive a minimum grade of C in all major courses and stand for periodic academic and artistic reviews. Majors are guaranteed participation in the production program through the production and performance laboratory course and are expected to attend scheduled departmentals.
