Dance

Human expression, either individual or cultural, comes in many forms including the physical medium of dance. The Dance Department at St. Joseph’s College, embraces the potential of that powerful expression in all people whether they are skilled dancers or those who wish to develop an appreciation of the form. Through courses that require no movement to those completely technique based, students will discover how to place the art form within its aesthetic, historical and cultural context as well as develop creativity and self-awareness.

Core Courses: For information about department courses that fulfill core curriculum requirements, consult the Core Curriculum Guide  .

Co-Curricular Workshop in Dance: May be offered for academic credit in accordance with the policy that students may earn 1/2 credit per semester for a total of two credits toward the degree for participation in co-curricular activities approved by the faculty.
