Dance Minor
Description
The department has some of the best dance facilities in the country, including its own fully equipped 300-seat proscenium dance theater, a 270 seat large-space studio theater, five studios, a body-conditioning lab, health pool, and computerized music and design studios. Faculty and professional staff are nationally and internationally recognized in their areas of expertise and are leaders in professional organizations such as CORD, NASD and NDEO. Undergraduates with a strong foundation of dance training are able to participate in the program by auditioning to enroll as dance majors or minors in the BFA, BA or BS programs. Additionally, the department serves a large number of students through courses that fulfill General Education requirements.
Admission to the Program
All students wishing to major or minor in dance must pass one of three department auditions scheduled each year. Check the department web site at www.brockport.edu/dance or contact the Department of Dance at (585) 395-2153 for audition dates and information. Many nonmajor dance courses are open to students in all programs - no audition is required for this option.
Students may begin the dance major or minor as freshmen, sophomores or juniors. BA/BS dance major and dance minor requirements can be completed during two academic years. The BA/BS dance major requires 35 (out of 120) credits; up to 19 additional elective dance credits may be taken to meet degree requirements. Many dance majors also complete requirements for a minor or a second major in another discipline.
