Dance Major

PDF Printable Brochure

The dance program at NSU, within the college's Division of Performing and Visual Arts, offers an extremely low student-faculty ratio with professors who have a wide variety of backgrounds and academic/research expertise.

The dance major will help students develop in several areas:  technical proficiency, historical and cultural perspectives, personal artistry, and production skills. The major will also provide students with an understanding of how dance fits into a larger global context through courses in dance history, global perspectives on dance, and contemporary dance techniques. Students in the major will learn the behind-the-scenes process of putting a show together in a technical theatre class and will get the opportunity to develop their own unique voice as artists in choreography and dance composition courses. The dance major prepares graduates for careers in dance performance, choreography, dance education, and advanced study in a graduate program.

The dance major is offered during the day and evening on NSU’s main campus.
