You might perform in the work of a professional choreographer while studying technique and choreography. Or perhaps you’d like to dance with one of the many student-run companies as an extracurricular activity. You also have the opportunity to participate in daily intermediate/advanced ballet classes as well as perform in the Guest Choreographer series. Our proximity to New York City and the easy availability of McCarter Theater Center’s Dance Series allows students to see performances by national and international dance companies. The dance program at Princeton, the curricular wing of the university’s dance community, exposes students to professional artists and scholars in dance through courses, co-curricular activities and guest artists. The Program embraces a contemporary aesthetic framework. Each studio course embodies three varied approaches to learning -- the kinesthetic, the creative and the cognitive -- by emphasizing technique and repertory along with dance composition and writing about dance.
