The dance program is a modern-based dance program offering rigorous, conservatory-style training for those interested in pursuing careers as professional dancers. The B.F.A. degree program provides a foundation in ballet, modern and post-modern dance techniques. Additionally, our singular dance wellness program required by all dance majors has put the department at the forefront of dance science. Small class sizes provide majors with individualized attention from professional faculty, drawn from New York's finest dance companies. Students learn and perform historic and contemporary repertory from professional guest artists and faculty. Our Dance programs provide rigorous, conservatory-style training for those interested in pursuing careers as professional dancers, as well as those who want to work in complementary fields as dance instructors, movement therapists, art administrators or other related disciplines.

In order to apply to the BFA in Dance program, an audition is required. International students and domestic students who are unable to audition on site may submit a video audition, although an in-person audition is strongly recommended.
