Dance, AA


The associate degree in dance is designed for students who are preparing to transfer and/or audition for admission into a dance program at a four-year institution while also completing lower division transfer requirements, and/or combining educational goals with other fields with dance. The major concentrates on developing the student’s technical ability to at least the intermediate level in modern and ballet. Studies in dance science such as conditioning and correct, and GYROKINESIS® help to secure longevity and marketability in the dance field by educating students on how to optimize technical abilities while simultaneously minimizing potential injuries. Students also complete courses in choreography, dance history, and performance to develop their awareness of dance artistry. In addition, the curriculum requirements include options of other dance technique courses in jazz, tap, ballroom, Hip Hop, Middle Eastern, African dance, and Improvisation to help create a well-rounded dancer. Many of the courses for the AA degree are directly transferable into the dance major program at transfer institutions.
