Here, we highlight just a few of the special opportunities to expand your education and experience!
The Department of Dance regularly invites esteemed dancers and choreographers to teach masterclasses for our students and give special insights into the world of professional dance.
From uptown Charlotte to New York City, our dancers are stepping into professional stages and real-world opportunities. Discover some recent stories, below.
The Department of Dance offers a summer, faculty-led study abroad program in Turin, Italy, “Connecting the Past to the Present: Baroque to Modern Dance,” led by Associate Professor of Dance Kim Jones.
Whether through a formal class setting, internships or participation in faculty-led research, dance students get off campus and into the community to both teach and learn in our fast-growing city.
