Overview

The exciting Dance Performance program at Rhode Island College combines a strong foundation in history and theory with rigorous training in style and technique, along with experiential learning opportunities in composition and performance.

The students are prepared to work professionally within a dance troupe, choreograph performances and operate a dance studio.

Key Features

The BA in dance performance encourages individual expression while emphasizing the three aspects of dance study:

style and technique

composition and performance

history and theory

RIC’s strong academic curriculum is only equaled by its exceptional performance opportunities. The dance majors regularly train and perform with professional guest choreographers.

In many cases, they have either spent a week with our guests in the studio, taken a master class with a guest artist or had a dance number set for them by a professional artist for performance later in the year.
