Dance ProgramThe performing and creative arts are about communicating and reflecting the deepest hopes and concerns of the society that produces them. Our goal is to develop creative and articulate artists who are proficient in technique, performance, theory, and critical analysis, and who are able to use dance to communicate their experiences, ideas and perceptions as a world citizen.
Dance integrates the creative, intellectual, physical and emotive spheres and leads one to apprehend, understand, analyze and produce knowledge in a way unique among disciplines.
