The Barnard Dance Department offers
an exceptional program in dance, solidly based on the integration of dance as an art form within a liberal
arts curriculum. It seeks to develop technical versatility in dance performance, skill and originality
in choreography, and critical understanding of the art of dance as a part of history and culture. Emphasis
is placed on performance opportunities in ballet and modern idioms each term, and on the encouragement
of each student’s growth as a creative artist.
Studios and theatres in New York City provide students opportunities to study and view an array of
dance, while major libraries and dance institutions offer rich possibilities for research. The Dance
Department regularly invites guest artists to lecture, teach, and choreograph throughout the year.
All dance courses except
BC3591, the senior seminar, are open to students who meet the prerequisites. Students contemplating a major
or concentration in dance should consult with a member of the department in the first year. Declaration
of the major or concentration requires departmental approval.
The Barnard College Department of Dance is an accredited institutional member of the National Association
of Schools of Dance.
