Combine your passion for dance with a comprehensive understanding of the moving body. 

In our interdisciplinary program, you’ll engage with dance on multiple levels—creatively, intellectually, and physically. Guided by our outstanding faculty and a diverse range of guest artists, you’ll receive conservatory-caliber training in the dance studio alongside laboratory-based courses in biology, chemistry, kinesiology, and somatics. Theory courses in dance will also offer the opportunity to attend shows throughout the Bay Area. Your studies will culminate with a self-generated senior project that demonstrates mastery in your chosen field.
