Required Courses
Program requirements for dance majors:
Technique classes
Six 1.5 credit courses of ballet and six 1.5 credit courses of modern dance technique classes. The intermediate proficiency level (DA 205 and DA 206 ) are required for graduation. Students are evaluated for technical ability every semester and are moved up in level at the discretion of the dance faculty.
The following 3 credit courses:
All dance majors
All dance majors participate as a dancer, understudy, and/or as a crew member for the Emerging Choreographers Concert and for the Dance Ensemble concert every year. Students are also encouraged to fully participate and support all of the DeSales University Dance Department productions and the ACT 1 musical. These types of experiences support our philosophy that the theoretical approach to performance must be supplemented with practical experience.
Elective courses
Within the framework of the dance department, the student, in consultation with his/her advisor, selects elective courses in accordance with his/her needs for future growth and development in the field of dance.
Pass/Fail Option:
Offered on a pass/fail basis. DA 280 will be a class in which the instructor can designate the pass/fail option or not because it is a special topics class and will change from semester to semester.
Most dance courses are open to non-majors. Some courses have prerequisites. Non-dance majors are encouraged to audition for dance department productions. Courses satisfying the physical education activity requirements are identified in their descriptions.
