Dance - Bard College

Dance from Bard College is a Campus Bachelor Dance degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The Bard Dance Program sees the pursuit of artistry and intellect as a single endeavor and the study of the body as a cognitive act, demanding both physical practice and exploration of the broader academic contexts in which the art form exists. The program fosters the discovery of a dance vocabulary that is meaningful to the dancer/choreographer and essential to his or her creative ambitions. This discovery leads students to cultivate original choices that are informed by a full exploration of their surroundings and to find expression in new and dynamic ways. Through intensive technique and composition courses, onstage performance, and production experience, dance students are prepared to understand and practice the art of choreography and performance. In 2009, the Dance Program launched a partnership with the Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Dance Company. Jones and members of his company will lead workshops, teach technique and composition classes, and advise dance majors on Moderation and Senior Project work. Areas of Study: The Dance Program offers technique courses in ballet, modern dance, and world dance?flamenco, as well as courses in composition, dance history, dance science, performance and production, and dance repertory.
