Minor in Dance


What does dance mean to you? For some it is a movement form practiced in class or with a master teacher. Some of us learn it in the street or from our families, passed down through generations. Maybe we dance on stage, or at a party or in the kitchen when no one is looking. In all of its many forms, dance has functioned throughout time and across many cultures as an important and enduring human activity that has explored and expressed human feeling, inquiry and creativity. We invite students to meet dance in the studio, on the stage, in the seminar room, in the community, and wherever else it exists. Because dance can be so many things to each of us, our program is designed to meet the needs and interests of the diverse student population of both Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges. We welcome the newcomer and support the continued progress of those students with prior training.
