We are a very small program with about 25 dance majors- on purpose! With our smaller size students receive personal attention and have a lot of opportunities- more performance opportunities, opportunities to attend conferences, etc. We see a lot of growth in artistry in the students over the four years because of the small class sizes. We bring in nationally and internationally known artists to set work on the students so they have the opportunity to make connections in the field before graduation.
