Courses stress personal creativity, individual growth, and strong technical training.
An undergraduate major in dance is an excellent means of gaining in-depth knowledge of the art form and its related fields. History The University of Wisconsin-Madison Dance Program bears the proud distinction of being a leader and innovator in the field of dance. In 1926, under the guidance of Professor Margaret H'Doubler, UW-Madison became the first university to offer a degree program in dance. The Program has graduated many students who have gone on to lead and teach at other university dance programs and to become founders and members of our nation's foremost dance companies. Madison is a major center for dance in the Midwest and has a strong history of community patronage.
