Dance MInor

The Dance Minor at Anderson University offers students an opportunity to explore their passion for movement and expression, while gaining foundational skills in a variety of dance styles. Through a curriculum that combines technique, choreography, and performance, students will deepen their understanding of dance as both an art form and a mode of communication. This program not only enhances technical proficiency but also encourages creativity, confidence, and collaboration—skills that are valuable in many fields beyond dance. Whether students are new to dance or looking to advance their abilities, the Dance Minor provides a supportive environment to develop their artistry and pursue their creative ambitions.
