Fredonia’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance prepares developing artists to successfully navigate the complexities of the contemporary dance field and to find their unique path to a satisfying and sustainable career in dance. By fostering the discovery and evolution of each student’s singular creative voice, we encourage them to take their places as engaged, self-reflective citizens of the global arts community.
The Fredonia Difference
The BFA in Dance at Fredonia focuses its technical training on Modern/Contemporary and Jazz dance with supplementary training in Ballet, Tap, and somatic forms. Small class sizes allow for the personal attention and frequent feedback that aspiring artists need to fully develop their artistic potential as a dance major. The program’s strong connection with the Department’s numerous Theatre programs makes for a vibrant, multi-dimensional educational experience within a warm and supportive creative community. Students in Fredonia’s Dance program may also combine their major in Dance with a second program, allowing them to pursue additional interests in a complementary field.
