DANCE

The minor in dance is designed to provide the student with a basic foundation in dance technique, dance history, and choreography, with a focus towards production and performance. Students will receive dance technique training in ballet, modern, and jazz. In addition students will study composition and gain expertise in choreography. Those students who wish to study dance history may select from a variety of courses addressing historical and contemporary issues. Dance students are encouraged to participate in the annual dance concert as well as informal studio showings and the activities of the UMaine Dance Company Club. Production credits may be available for these efforts.
