UW Department of Dance

The University of Washington Department of Dance believes dance is for everybody. We expand the meanings and experiences of dance as a field of study and a living art form. We employ pedagogical perspectives, research approaches, dance-making methods, and performance philosophies that are historically and culturally informed to elevate the value of play, creativity, critical thinking, and embodied knowledge for our students and global communities.

Through the University of Washington, the Department of Dance offers dance minor, a dance major that culminates in a Bachelor of Arts degree, and a Master of Fine Arts degree.
