Minor
Bates offers a minor in dance rooted in the tradition of dance as an art form. Integrating both the theory and practice of dance within the framework of a liberal arts education, the Bates dance program emphasizes an inclusive approach to dance studies that develops a deep understanding of humanity, art, and culture. Original work is encouraged and students participate in up to five dance concerts a year. In addition to the minor, students can also incorporate dance into an interdisciplinary studies program with other departments and programs on campus.
The following are required for a minor in dance:
DANC 251. Dance Composition.
DANC 253A. Dance Repertory Performance I.
One of the following:
DANC 250. Early Modern Dance History.
DANC 252. Contemporary Issues in Dance.

DN/WS 352. The Cultural Performative Body.
Two full credits from among the following:
DANC 240, 241, 340, 341, DANC 270
One additional course in dance, or one course in theater, music, or art and visual culture.
Participation in the three-week summer Bates Dance Festival (s30) is strongly recommended but not required.
