Duke University Dance Program
The Duke University Dance Program focuses on dance as an integral part of the human experience, and the moving body as a medium for rigorous intellectual creativity. Our aim is to engage students in the profound potential for dance as embodied knowledge in the service of society.
Undergraduate Program
Duke Dance offers majors, minors, and classes towards your degree. The program offers unique opportunities to encounter global dance traditions and movement experimentation for discovery, inquiry and discourse. The curriculum is designed to suit the interests of students with varied levels of experience in dance, encouraging them in multi- and inter-disciplinary engagements.
Graduate Program
The Master of Fine Arts in Dance: Embodied Interdisciplinary Praxis is a 2-year, full-time terminal degree in Dance.
