- Students interested in teaching can choose a track toward teacher licensure in dance.
- Sweet Briar’s close connection to the nearby Virginia Center for the Creative Arts brings in working artists who interact with students.
- Sweet Briar hosts professional dance performances and guest artists from around the country throughout the academic year.
- Sweet Briar is home to award-winning dance company Orange Grove Dance’s summer residential dance and film intensive.
-
The Dance Program is an active member of the American College Dance Association and attends the annual conference to give students the opportunity to present original work for professional feedback.
