Dance Department

About the Minor

The goal of the dance minor is to develop proficiency in one or more areas of dance practice and to gain a substantive understanding of dance within critical and cultural contexts.

Requirements

Five units in dance:

1. At least one unit must be at or above the 300 level;
2. At least three units must be at or above the 200 level;
3. Only one unit may be at the 100 level.

Of the five units required for the minor:

1. One unit must be fulfilled with a dance studio course, and
2. One unit must be fulfilled with a dance studies course.
   • Courses that may be applied toward either designation may be used toward one of these requirements, but not both.
3. One unit must include a course that focuses on dance outside the Euro-American tradition.
