B.A. PROGRAM GUIDE | B.F.A. PROGRAM GUIDE | COURSE DESCRIPTIONS | FACULTY | SCHEDULE OF COURSES
Study dance with a concentration in jazz, and you’ll train in both contemporary and traditional jazz, which is based on musical theatre styles. The program consists of ten levels of training, and placement is based on each student’s technical ability at the time they enter the program. With each level, you’ll progress in your physical, spatial and kinetic awareness.
The goal of the jazz dance program is to encourage personal expression and stylistic exploration, with an emphasis on isolations, jumps, movement across the floor, challenging combinations and a sense of musicality. You will also benefit from study with guest artists and choreographers.
