Dance, BFA

“Acceptance into the BFA degree program at Western is by invitation and is oriented toward performance and/or choreography. Spring quarter of junior year all dance majors are reviewed by the faculty as a whole and recommendations are made based on the demonstrated ability of the student, their work inside and outside of the classroom, and their ability to assimilate corrections. Those accepted are then assigned a faculty mentor who guides them through their final year of study, a culminating project that involves a capstone event, and possible apprenticeships with companies such as Montreal Danse and the Mark Morris Dance Group. The BFA is a rigorous, career oriented program designed to provide a bridge into the professional dance world.”
