We have not yet had the opportunity to interview the Indiana University Dance Program, if you are associated with the Indiana University Dance Program please have someone from the program email us at Brittany@BDancewear.com to set up an interview (only takes a few minutes and it’s free).
In the meantime here is some quick insights about this Indiana University Dance Program from their website.
The Department of Theatre, Drama, and Dance at Indiana University offers a major in Dance. The major includes dance technique, repertory, improvisation, composition, pedagogy, history, music, production, movement analysis, injury prevention, and Pilates certification. In addition, students take a strong academic core, completing requirements in arts and humanities. Although the program is based in modern dance, students also study ballet and world dance forms, and can elect to study musical theatre, tap, and jazz. The program is supported by three full-time faculty and several adjuncts within the Department of Theatre, Drama, and Dance; professors from the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, the Department of Kinesiology, and the School of Music also teach in the major. Additionally, one or more guest artists of national and international reputation work with students each year, setting choreography and teaching in the curriculum. IU Contemporary Dance has a new program, titled “Living Dance Community Partnerships.” which expands service opportunities past children. A dance course for individuals with Parkinson’s will be one of their inaugural programs, and will begin this fall in cooperation with Windfall Dance Studio. They will also launch a service-learning partnership with Crestmont Boys and Girls Club during the fall semester.
