Degrees

B.F.A. IN DANCE
Through our three-year, two-summer B.F.A. in Dance program, you'll receive personal attention from faculty and guest artists who provide professional training in ballet, modern, jazz, musical theatre, tap and world dance forms such as Flamenco, African, East Indian and Russian. A three-semester choreographic training sequence culminates in professionally staged productions of student work.

Our program will enhance your dance experience with courses including music for dance, lighting for dance, kinesiology, dance history, pedagogy and teaching practicum. You’ll also study special topics courses including repertory, partnering, Pilates and acting for dancers. During Senior Seminar, you’ll learn practical strategies for entering the professional dance world.

Our dance studios (four of them) and two theatres provide ample space for performances, rehearsals and individual time for movement exploration. Stephens Dance students perform in a minimum of four fully produced concerts each year.

The Stephens College Dance Company presents the work of resident faculty and guest artists in the spring and summer at the Macklanburg Playhouse, and students present their own choreography in the student-run Warehouse Theatre. The Senior Dance Concert, held every fall, is fully choreographed and produced by senior dance majors, while Dance Collaborations, the student dance organization, produces the adjudicated New Works Dance Concert each spring. Students also can audition for the Dimensions Repertory Dance Company, which performs at various community and campus events throughout the year.

Entrance to the B.F.A. program is by audition only.
