The dance minor offered by the Department of Theatre introduces students to many areas of study within the dance world, as well as providing abundant opportunities to contribute to the field. Students have the opportunity to explore dance studies, writing and analysis, in addition to dance techniques and performance.
All students are eligible for this minor, as space allows.
Admission to the minor is by application. Applications are available in winter quarter so that students may begin the minor in spring quarter. Students must demonstrate academic progress beyond technique study within the first full year of enrollment in the minor.
