Bates College offers a major and a minor in dance integrating theory and practice within the framework of a liberal arts education.
Bates offers a major and a minor in dance based in the tradition of dance as a performing art form. Integrating both the theory and practice of dance within the framework of a liberal arts education, the Bates Dance program emphasizes an inclusive approach to dance studies that develops a deep understanding of humanity, art, and culture through dance. Original choreographic work is encouraged and students of all levels have a variety of performing opportunities every year. In addition to the major and the minor, students can also incorporate dance into an interdisciplinary studies program with other departments and programs on campus, as well as approaching dance less formally as an elective area of study or as a way of life.
