This BA (Hons) Dance course offers a broad range of modules to prepare you for various dance careers. You have the opportunity to study all aspects of this diverse and growing dance industry and pursue your love of dance in daily technique classes. You will develop your unique choreographic ‘voice’ and perform it throughout your studies. You will discover topics including dance technique, choreography, and dance research, and explore where dance sits within wider arts, cultural, and dance science contexts. With regular practical dance classes, applied dance practice, and work placements to give you real-world experience, this degree has a theory-to-practice ratio of 60:40.

Your theoretical study will inform your performance. For example, you may study practice in the studio alongside anatomy theory in the classroom. Daily practical classes allow you to engage in healthy, safe dance practice including floor, ballet barre, center work, traveling exercises, and improvisational exercises designed to develop the technical skills you need to study dance at a university level. You will perform throughout your studies including at end-of-semester shows and have the opportunity to take part in an international exchange program during your second year.
