Description
Minor: Dance Program Code: M220 About This Minor. . . The Department of Theatre offers one of the most successful theatre training degree programs in Colorado. Students majoring in Theatre Arts can choose from four distinct concentrations (Acting/Directing, Design/Technical, Music Theatre and Dance) and acquire a sound understanding of the performing arts in our newly built, state-of-the-art facilities. Dance at CMU is thriving with an array of dance styles, performance opportunities and travel. Modern, jazz, ballet and hip hop are offered from beginning to professional levels. Other courses include somatic practices, conditioning, movement analysis, dance history, choreography, pedagogy, dance company, and experiential anatomy. Through our diverse curriculum, students develop versatility and an appreciation for historical roots and current trends in the field. Within a supportive learning community, students engage not only in rigorous technical training, but are also invited to explore creative experimentation and collaborative possibilities. Through our guest artist series, community engagement programs, and annual participation in the American College Dance Association Conference, our students have numerous opportunities to develop professional and networking skills. These experiences not only offer potential professional connections, but also expose students to other areas of dance scholarship, including current practices in dance medicine, dance psychology, etc.
