The Bachelor of Arts program in Dance integrates the study of dance within a liberal arts curriculum.
As a dance major at DeSales, you'll develop your technical and creative potential while learning to express yourself as a diverse and informed artist. Our theoretical and practical approach to the art of dance will stimulate your physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth and prepare you for a professional career in the field of dance.
The DeSales dance department, in partnership with Silo and Dancenow/NYC, brings in more than 20 guest artists per year to teach master classes and to choreograph. You'll be given unique opportunities to participate in historical reconstructions of masterworks of choreography and to perform in concert with touring professional companies, such as LEVYdance and the Ririe Woodbury Dance Company. You'll work with innovative dance professionals and be exposed to a wide variety of approaches to dance. As a result, you'll become well-rounded in your technique and have a broad view of the possibilities of working in the field.
