O que eu aprenderei?

Program Overview

Turn your passion for dance into a career in performance, choreography, administration, scholarship, film, performance review or teaching. Classes partner technical dance training with administration, composition and teaching methods to provide varying paths for career exploration and employment.

Why This Program & What You'll Learn

As the only dance studies major offered in the state of Michigan, our goal is to train and mentor dance-based performers, critical thinkers, writers, choreographers, production technicians, administrators, educators and scholars.

You'll graduate prepared to contribute to the field of dance in a wide variety of professional careers. While dance technique courses will be a significant portion of your required course work, critical thinking, writing and rigorous scholarly exploration will partner with the physical training to deepen your understanding of dance in a global context.

As a dance studies major, you'll complete an internship in your area of study and minor in business or entrepreneurship to maximize your career opportunities.

You'll learn from faculty with recent experience in major dance productions and initiatives. Our program also regularly hosts guest artists, which exposes students to diverse and emerging trends in dance.

You can put your learning on display in our 500-seat proscenium, Bush Theatre, and/or the 1,200-seat Plachta Auditorium. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to be in two major performances each year - the University Theatre Dance Company spring concert and the Student Choreography Showcase in the fall.

You can even produce, direct and/or choreograph your own productions under the guidance of faculty. This offers a unique opportunity to tailor your academic experience to your career aspirations.
