Yet, even as they develop physical abilities they also need to strengthen the intellectual skills essential to critical thinking and creative problem solving. Dancers for the 21st century need to develop and sustain their own creative presence. We believe our program helps prepare our alumni to meet these challenges. NYC Ohio University offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in modern dance and choreography from the School of Dance. Our four year training program fosters the balanced development of the dancer's creative artistic potential, physical skills and intellectual growth.
Dancers take daily technique classes from artist-faculty throughout their college career.
Modern dance is the primary focus of the technique classes offered in the program. Ballet is a required support technique. Jazz, as an additional area of study, is available. Choreography classes play an essential role in supporting creative growth of the dancer throughout the core curriculum. Performance opportunities on and off campus give the dance student valuable production experience in a variety of theatrical settings.
