Dance

Our Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree program for dance will have two divisions: Eastern and Western dance, although we encourage students to study both Eastern and Western dance.  For both divisions, we anticipate students to take a minimum of certain credits of courses on both Eastern and Western dance, to master two basic sets of choreographic skills, however their styles are different.  For the Eastern dance major, our focus will be primarily on classical dance, the court style in particular, though we will teach heritage dance of Chinese minority groups as well.  For the Western dance major, we teach both classical ballet and modern dance.
