Bachelor [Dance] From Dominican University

Classes are held in both San Rafael and San Francisco. The dance curriculum emphasizes ballet (Western classical dance) as its foundational language, complemented by extensive training in modern dance and other dance forms. It includes ballet, modern dance, the GYROTONIC? and GYROKINESIS? exercise methodologies, dance history, improvisation, composition, percussion, expository writing, speech and rhetoric, math, anatomy/kinesiology, social sciences, ethics, and a cultural heritage colloquium.

With its direct relationship to Alonzo King, one of the foremost choreographers of our time, the program offers students unique access to the process and environment in which current dance thought and practice is being shaped. A portion of each semester is devoted to the creation of a new work by faculty or guest choreographers?from within the Bay Area dance community and from abroad? who are invited to set works on the students and share their points of view.
