MSU's dance minor helps students develop imaginative, critical and technical skills

The dance minor at MSU is designed for both technical and non-technical dancers and provides strong groundwork in dance technique, history, composition and performance. Students learn a wide array of popular dance forms including modern, tap, jazz, ballet, improvisation, African, hip-hop and more.

The program provides a foundation for the following careers:

• Administrative professional for dance companies
• Artistic director
• Choreographer
• Critic
• Educator
• Professional dancer
• Rehearsal director

Students in the dance program will gain hands-on experience through participation in dance ensembles and choreography sessions offered each semester. Through MSU's Artist-in-Residency program, instructors from professional dance companies are brought to the university to conduct interactive workshops.

Any student meeting MSU admission requirements may enroll in the dance program with no formal audition required. For more information on the dance minor program, visit www.moreheadstate.edu/dance.
