The OSU Department of Dance is a community of diverse individuals trained on a common nexus of inquiry, the rich and complex phenomenon of dance. At the heart of the OSU Dance experience is the notion of embodied scholarship, embracing the intertwining areas of physical practice, creative activity, and theoretical inquiry.
As one of the premiere dance programs in United States, the Department is at the forefront of contemporary modern dance through choreographic and performance exploration, creative use of technologies, and reimagining the documentation of dance traditions. Visiting artists and scholars enrich all dimensions of the program and regularly augment the resident faculty. The students also benefit from institutional relationships with Dance/USA, BalletMet Columbus, Movement Research, Inc., of New York City, OhioDance, growing exchange programs with universities and centers in Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and Africa, and the Dance Notation Bureau Extension housed in the department.
