About the Program
The B.F.A. in Dance Studies at LIU Post is a pre-professional, process-based and performance-oriented program that explores the wide variety of roles for dance professionals and surveys the world's great dance traditions, from African and Asian dance to modern, jazz, ballet and tap. Combining advanced education in dance and theatrical production with opportunities to develop specific skills through training and sustained practice, all in the context of a strong liberal arts program, the 120-credit degree teaches the art form and not just technique, preparing students for careers in dance performance, dance education or dance criticism.
