The Department of Dance offers a minor in Dance. This degree is designed to allow a student to transfer to a four year program, operate a dance studio, as well as prepare to be a dance specialist in a professional, community, and church setting.
The Mission of the Department of Dance is:
- Provide opportunities for the student to develop spiritually, artisti- cally, intellectually and physically. This is accomplished through dis- cipline, the art of dance, and our desire to emphasize gospel princi- ples, personal integrity, individual enrichment and sensitivity to mul- tiple perspectives.
- Graduates in dance will have a solid foundation preparing them to transfer to a four year program, as well as for careers in performance, choreography, teaching and service.
- Students will learn through dance that they can become better individuals by living the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, enhancing their roles as creative and artistic individuals, church members, citi- zens and parents.
- Our goal is to challenge students to be individual thinkers, serve the community and make artistic efforts that reflect a richly complex and diverse global perspective.
