Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Arts - Dance

Program Description

The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, but also includes the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive.

Dance majors engage in high quality training in contemporary dance forms, with additional dance styles and somatic techniques as complements to their technical development. Coursework in the history and aesthetics of dance taught from a global perspective provide them with a more expansive understanding of their art. Additional experiences with creative process work, pedagogy, and community dance training, as well as performance opportunities in a variety of venues, connect students to the larger communities in which their art is made.
