Undergraduate Degree Program, Dance Minor
We do not offer minor auditions. Minors are selected by the dance faculty from the major audition list. In the event a student is not strong enough to be a major but strong in one specific area, the faculty may choose to offer the minor degree.The dance minor is limited to seven students in each area. If an area is full, we do not accept additional minors until there is a space available. Minors take the classes in their specific area of emphasis (ballet or modern or jazz.)
The Minor Core Curriculum consists of:
- Dance improvisation
- Two semester of technique (ballet OR modern OR jazz) to be taken in sequence
- Dance Composition: Creating with Movement & Rhythm
- Dance History
- Dance in World Cultures
- Biomechanics for Dance
