Placement for Non-Majors
Orientation for Non-Majors
Many courses offered by the dance program count towards core curriculum credit in Artistic Knowledge and Experience as well as the area of Engaged Learning.
Auditions are not required for dance minors or for students wanting to take Level I dance classes.
All dancers enrolling in dance courses Level II or above should attend the Dance Welcome & New Student Orientation, usually held prior to the start of each semester. This is an opportunity for all incoming dancers to meet faculty, learn about course offerings and the dance minor or major as well as upcoming auditions. These welcome sessions are held the Friday before the start of fall classes.
