Students may take dance courses for credit at any of these colleges, and a free bus system makes travel very convenient. Other electives include music for dancers, contact improvisation, dance aesthetics, video and dance, and others. The facilities here are some of the best in New England. We have a spacious, versatile, and fully equipped studio theatre, which allows our faculty, and students to produce beautifully lit, intimate concerts throughout the year. Mount Holyoke students regularly perform in concerts at other campuses.
Dance viewing opportunities are equally extensive.
There is also an extensive dance video library available to all students on line. Mount Holyoke has a great deal to offer the serious dance student, as well as the interested dance enthusiast. I came here fifteen years ago as a guest artist and have chosen to stay because nowhere else have I found such a fertile fusion of art and intellect, such a diverse and outstanding curriculum as the Five College Dance Department s, and all this in a beautiful, rural setting. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Terese Freedman, Chair Department of Dance Mount Holyoke College Copyright 2000 Mount Holyoke College.
