Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Dance] From Dixie State University

The DSU Dance program gives students a foundation in the profession of the art of dance by providing an educational environment in which technique training, performance opportunities and creative projects compliment and reinforce each other. The Dance program offers the highest standard service in the areas of academic education and community education for students and community members. Along with the full-time faculty members, there are a variety of well-qualified part-time adjunct instructors in ballet, modern dance, jazz dance, ballroom dance, dance composition, and dance conditioning. Together, the faculty bring a wealth of experience to their classrooms. The Dance program is housed in the Graff Fine Arts Center, a facility with large, modern studios as well as faculty offices.

In September 2001, the Dixie State Dance Company (DSDC) was created and established. The DSDC provides dance students at DSU with the best environment for dance performing experience and training. The goal of the company is to prepare students in dance technique and artistic expression for dance performances and for their future dance careers through rehearsing dance productions and learning dance techniques and performing skills that are required for dance performances. We emphasize the development of personal discipline, collaborative skills and creative expression.
