Welcome to the Associate of Arts Degree (Dance)

An Associate in Arts degree in Dance from Skyline College provides students with the foundation and skills needed to enter the dance profession or transfer to a dance program at a four-year university. Students improve their level of physical dance technique, performance and expression. Dance majors participate in dance performances every semester which include opportunities for students to choreograph and perform their work. Coursework includes practice and history in multiple dance styles, including ballet, contemporary modern, jazz, hip hop and musical theater.  Develop a more authentic and individualized interpretation of a given dance form through a demonstration of appropriate levels of technique that incorporate cultural elements* of this dance form (*e.g., costume, history, vocabulary, rhythm and music). Create and develop unique movement sequences, and collaboratively organize that material into a dance production. Critically evaluate and objectively discuss dance as a performance art.

Career Path

Studying dance prepares students to pursue a variety of careers in the arts and education, including dance instruction, critical work, choreography, and professional dance and performance. Individuals educated in dance can work in schools, theaters, recreation centers, fitness centers, dance and movie studios and more.
