Dance

Recognized by Dance Magazine as one of the top non-conservatory programs in the country, the University of South Carolina Dance Program combines a rigorous dance classroom and studio environment with the extensive depth and breadth of a superior liberal arts education.

It is the mission of the UofSC Dance Program to prepare emerging leaders and future professionals who can successfully function in a variety of career paths within and outside of the field of dance. To achieve this mission, curriculum, pedagogy, and faculty research focus on dance as a catalyst for critical thinking, community outreach, and advocacy while maintaining high-quality artistic collaborations at the core of educational experiences.

Our students are committed to rigorous development of their natural abilities through a combination of study and practice, leading to a life enriched by the art of dance.
