The curriculum includes ballet, modern, jazz, tap, dance history and choreography. The Annie Russell Dance series features nationally and internationally recognized professional artists and companies. The performances, presented in the Annie Russell Theatre , afford students an opportunity to connect classroom content with live performance. Beyond participation as audience members, Rollins students attend master classes conducted by visiting artists. Like all liberal arts, dance teaches life skills that will benefit the student later in life, regardless of the vocation selected.
Dance teaches self-discipline, respect, dedication and determination.
Plato once wrote, 'to sing and dance well is to be well educated. It is our mission to endow our students with dance.
