BA in Arts and Letters with a Concentration in Dance
SUNY Buffalo State University — Buffalo, NY
About this program
The Bachelor of Arts in Arts and Letters with a Concentration in Dance at Buffalo State University, SUNY is an interdisciplinary major that allows students to pursue their particular interests whether that be performance, education, therapy, or community work with dance as the primary course of study. Excellent learning experiences in and out of the classroom develop dance leaders for an increasingly global society. The dance program focuses on the study of dance as art, science, education, and culture. Through studio techniques, theory, history, and composition, students reflect on their own creativity and its aesthetic value, which leads to considering how dance enhances their major, is an expression of culture, and helps to build community. Buffalo State Dance Theater is a student dance company that performs throughout the academic year — built on the foundation of diversity and creativity, the company accepts and appreciates all dance forms. Students are invited into the company by audition; acceptance indicates committing to the company for the full academic year, registering for a dance technique course each semester, and rehearsing for and performing in the annual spring dance concert. Choreography is treated as a powerful civic tool when dancers embody critical global issues and move to convey justice; concerts promote multiple perspectives, social change, and active citizenship. Buffalo State is part of the SUNY system serving approximately 9,000 students.
