The BA in Dance provides an inclusive, flexible environment for students to develop their physical and intellectual capabilities in the field of dance. Our training is rooted in healthy, sustainable techniques that support injury prevention and longevity. We value individual mentorship, collaborative choreographic processes, and culturally engaged dance pedagogy. The flexibility of this 39-credit hour major supports opportunities to double major or minor in another discipline within the liberal arts degree framework of Converse. Students will engage in studio and theory classes, create, produce, and perform in fully staged dance works, and gain the skills necessary for a diverse range of career opportunities. Majoring in dance will prepare students for careers in performance, choreography, education, arts administration, dance medicine, and other fields that value collaboration, critical thinking, leadership, and creative problem solving skills.
