The Department of Dance at Arizona State University is committed to providing a stimulating and diverse environment where students develop as scholars, educators and artists through participation in innovative programs, residencies, performances and partnerships.
The thrust of the program is modern but solid instruction is available in ballet and a variety of cultural forms. While dedicated to the development of performers, choreographers and educators, the dance program also encourages and fosters exploration in new, diverse and creative directions key to the development of dance in the future. To that end, the dance program encourages educational research opportunities in multimedia and the dance sciences.
The dance program is also committed to enriching the cultural lives of the campus, community and region through courses, apprenticeships, performances, interdisciplinary collaborations, audience education activities, lectures, workshops, community service and to serving as a resource for new and continued learning.
