About the Program
The dance program at Cedar Crest College allows you to view the art of dance from multiple perspectives to fully understand it as a discipline of study. Students explore creative expression through workshops and performance pieces, developing discipline-specific technical skills in tap, jazz, modern, and ballet, while participating in choreography and theater productions. The BA is grounded in the liberal arts, and majors are encouraged to participate in two performances a year.
