The dance major at Stockton University provides an individualized experience that develops highly trained, creatively active, and professionally-oriented dancers; dance students engage with faculty and guests who are all working artists. Stockton Dance students choose from six major concentrations (Performance, Studio Operations, Pre-Physical Therapy, Pre-Movement Science, Arts Administration, or Dance Theatre), and can also elect to minor in dance while pursuing a different major. Three dance performances each year allow students to perform faculty and guest artist works as well as their own choreography.
