Step 4: Apply for Dance and Other Scholarships

We know attending college can be a big financial investment for many students and their families. That’s why we offer several Dance scholarships for dance majors, minors, teaching assistants (TAs), research assistants, and students studying arts administration.

Students interested in any Dance scholarships must also submit:

• personal statement detailing your training, performance experience, and/or interest in dance
• 1 letter of recommendation
• 2-3 minute uniquely choreographed piece

Check out the Dance Scholarship Application and our University-wide database of other scholarship and funding opportunities.

Step 5: Schedule Your Faculty Interview

All incoming students to the Dance Program must interview with dance faculty immediately after any audition or movement technique placement.

We focus on dance as culture, exploring the intersection of history, identity, and how movement can inspire and inform.

Welcome to the Dance Program! Our dance major focuses on the art as culture through dance performance and education. Looking at dance as a culture allows us to offer a high level of technical training in ballet, modern, jazz, and African-based dance forms.

Our focus on performance allows dancers to master performance and production proficiency. The focus on education encourages students to share the art of dance through teaching. Always evolving, dance reflects changes happening in modern society, bringing dance technology to the forefront.
