blank image blank image Bates offers a secondary concentration 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 secondary concentration, students can also incorporate dance into an interdisciplinary studies program with other departments and programs on campus. blank image
