Students can explore the creative aspect of dance in three levels of Dance Composition and Choreography courses which are offered for academic credit. Two courses are offered every year — Dance Composition: Process and Presence and Dance Composition: Elements and Craft — and introduce the fundamentals and possibilities of dancemaking. These two courses may be taken in any order.  Dancemaking can also be explored in Screendance: Movement and the Camera.

The Advanced Choreography course gives students the opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty mentor over the course of the semester to fully develop choreographic intent and produce a substantial work.  It requires ARTD 142 and 242 as pre-requisites. 

Students may continue to engage in compositional and choreographic work through the senior capstone course for majors.
