A student involved in the Dance department undertakes a program of self-discipline imperative to any degree of professional success.
Some students posses the prerequisite attributes to become professional dancers.
Others are capable of fulfilling related positions in the dance field such as teachers, ballet masters, choreographers, dance notators, designers and regisseurs. Upon completion of this program, the student may pursue a degree through a college or university dance program or go directly to professional company membership. Within this program, the student will also have contact with modern, character and ethnic idioms as well as classical repertoire variations. It is the recommendation of the departmental staff that only the most serious individuals embark upon this program. The demands of dance training preclude almost any free time for non-related activities other than required academic studies.
