DANCEThe Bachelor of Arts in Dance is for students who desire an education in the art of dance. The mission of the dance program is to develop dance artists and to foster the skills, understanding and discipline that prepare them for the professional world. The curriculum combines practical training in technique, aesthetics and critical training. Intensive training in Modern Dance and Ballet is complemented by improvisation, composition, dance history, kinesiology, pedagogy and performance experiences. The graduating student is prepared technically and creatively to work as a dance artist from the studio to the stage. Students entering the program must attend a placement class and an advisement session before enrolling in the major. It is mandatory that dance majors be assessed, evaluated and advised as to the potential for advancement in both Modern Dance and Ballet on a yearly basis.
Dancers Carleigh Lipman and Sara Vincent are the featured narrators in photographer Kelly Lacefield's multimedia presentation, "DanceTHEATRE." The slide show documents the dancers' experiences through rehearsal and preparation for "Spring Dance Theatre," coordinated by Gladys Kares, professor of theatre and dance. |
