About the Program
Think you can dance at NVC? You can! NVC Dance has something for everyBODY. We offer Dance pre-majors a comprehensive course of study in dance technique, composition, theory and performance leading to transfer to the Dance program at universities throughout Texas. In addition, we offer dance studio courses open to all students, including Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Tap, Folk and Ballroom.
What will I learn?Students will build dance skills grounded in an understanding of the body's healthy structure and function, and gain practical hands-on experience in the art and craft of choreography, as well as a variety of contexts (historical, cultural, kinesiological) for understanding dance. |
What can I do with this course of study?Dance majors work in the field of dance as performers, choreographers/directors, teachers, and dance historians/critics. A dance major can also be a gateway to the related fields of Dance Medicine, Dance Therapy, and also non-profit management. Dance majors can also enter professional degree programs in law, business, education and medicine! |
What is special about this program?
All students in our studio classes have the opportunity to perform in the Palmetto Theater each semester. Serious dancers may audition for our resident student dance company, the Northwest Vista College Repertory Dance Ensemble. An annual visiting artist residency program gives students direct exposure to artists currently working in the field.
