in experiential learning

Students will be actively immersed in Italian and French culture and presented rich study content in Dance History, Pedagogy, and Choreography in Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Florence, and Castellana Grotte. Students will participate in historical lecture and movement experiences, utilize local architecture and artistic masterworks as a catalyst for the creation of movement and study of compositional structure, and learn the origins of the Italian/French methodology of ballet training while on location. They will also participate with other students and professionals in a global dance workshop studying a variety of dance forms and choreography with internationally renowned faculty. Students will have performance opportunities as part of the workshop and have the option to participate in an international dance competition.

The summer of 2014 was incredible for the BYU Department of Dance, in part because of an amazing opportunity provided for dancers in all disciplines.

Nineteen dancers lie sprawled out on the floor, a highly unusual sight in a typical dance class. The adroit teacher circled the group with perfect posture, walking as gracefully and carefully as a lion. The dancers immediately sat up and watched carefully as the master demonstrated his literally groundbreaking poses and stretches on the ground.

Thousands of students leave Provo every summer to find work to pay for school in various ways. A lucky few find a way of doing something they love, progressing their education and making money all at the same time.
