Through dance training, dance performance and dance making, as a classical or contemporary dance major you will discover and define your personal style. Course work and performance will help develop your aesthetic sense, while giving you a historical perspective of dance.
- Define what dance means to you as part of a dance community that has a rich history of training dance artists/ educators dating back to 1949.
- Learn in a facility that includes three large dance studios with natural lighting, sprung hard wood floors and marley overlay, an exercise room with Pilates-based equipment, a dance technology lab, as well as traditional classrooms.
- Take high intensity courses from skilled faculty and internationally-known guest artists.
- Perform on campus in Ed Landreth Auditorium and the Studio B Theatre. DanceTCU also performs internationally in places like Mexico, Italy and Germany.
