For more than 40 years, the Sweet Briar College Dance Program has strived to promote active learning, develop the creative, collaborative, and critical skills essential for life and livelihood, and prepare students majoring in Performing Arts and Dance for careers in dance and related fields. The Dance Program prepares students to appreciate dance and its achievements of the past through a balance of embodied study, original research, and critical response.
Students will achieve sound technical skills in contemporary movement forms through regular embodied practice, become familiar with movement practices and habits that promote lifelong physical well-being, increase self-confidence through formal and informal performance opportunities, speak and write about dance persuasively and with cogency, develop creative thinking skills through the generation of original choreography, and become effective and integrous leaders through collaborative projects and teaching opportunities.
