Dance - People

The Dance Program is the home of unique and celebrated dance artists. Each faculty member has a field of specialization she offers to the student body. Dance students work closely with the faculty and become familiar with many facets of the dance world including: the science of dance, the healing capacity of dance, dance as a scholarly activity, historical dance, the role dance plays in world cultures, and choreography, as well as dance as a virtuosic and performing art.
 
The four full-time and many adjunct faculty in Dance bring knowledge and experience from across the country and around the world. Please explore each of their biographies and teaching philosophies. Check back often to see in what new projects our faculty are immersed! Contact information for each full faculty or staff member in the School of Theatre & Dance can be found below under "People."
 
The Dance Division also has an impressive roster of recent and upcoming guest artists who join the School of Theatre & Dance to create and perform dances on campus.
 
You can also find information about our many alumni who are working, teaching, and dancing in all parts of the globe.
