DANCE CURRICULUM

Wichita State University's School of Performing Arts Dance Program offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performing Arts/Dance. The Dance concentration is designed to provide the student with intensive professional study of concert dance. This is accomplished through studio and practical experience in dance technique, performance, and choreography. WSU students can also earn a minor in dance.

We are very excited about the new Dance curriculum. It offers students a well-rounded dance education and prepares them for the many facets of today's dance world.
