The BA/BS in Dance requires 35 credits in selected dance courses with a possible additional 19 elective dance credits. In contrast, the BFA in Dance requires 85 credits in dance and emphasizes preparation for performance and performance-related careers. The BFA is also appropriate for students who might wish to pursue PreK-12 State Teacher Certification in Dance with an MA degree.
Dance students receive daily training in modern dance and ballet technique, including conditioning and somatics work. Supporting techniques offered include jazz, tap, Afro-Brazilian, African, and Irish dance. Dance majors also study improvisation, music for dance, composition, anatomy, kinesiology, Laban based theory, dance history, and production. Courses in dance repertory, children's dance, and dance pedagogy round out the dance major.
Dance is offered as a speciality option in the Interdisciplinary Arts for Children major. Also, The College at Brockport students can combine a BA/BS dance major curriculum with existing programs in other departments that prepare them for graduate study in dance therapy, arts management, dance medicine, and other careers.
