We emphasize:
• Ballet and modern technique with exploration in other dance forms
• Developing critical thinking and writing skills around dance in all courses
• Collaboration with local professional choreographers and dance companies
• Chance to choreograph own work & present it for student and faculty directed shows
• Audition-based Main Street dance company for advanced level dancers
