Notre Dame’s Dance Program offers a dynamic, multi-level curriculum designed to develop students as dancers, choreographers, and creative thinkers. With training in ballet, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, ballroom, tap, and cultural dance styles, students gain technical skill, artistic expression, and choreographic confidence.

Each course builds progressively, emphasizing performance, collaboration, and original student work. Dancers explore dance history, composition, and the role of movement in culture, health, and community. Through end-of-semester showcases and innovative projects like site-specific and dance-for-camera work, students graduate with a well-rounded foundation in dance and a deep appreciation for its power to inspire and connect.
