The dance program at Meredith provides women with opportunities to develop artistically through disciplined training, creative exploration and self-discovery.

The Dance Studies major trains students specifically for Dance Education and Private Studio Teaching and broadly for careers in performance, choreography, arts administration, or further study in dance.

As a dance student you'll have opportunities to take advantage of the department's many exceptional programs, specialized areas of study and venues for presentation of original choreographic works. In fact, Meredith students are such active choreographers that the program has taken on a choreographic focus over the years.

Meredith College also hosts the annual North Carolina Dance Festival, which offers students the chance to perform with and help produce the work of North Carolina's best choreographers.

Other highlights include:

• Performance opportunities with DanceWorks, Meredith Dance Theatre and the Meredith Jazz and Tap Company, as early as freshman year;
  
  
• Intensive learning experiences with regional and national guest artists, including nationally acclaimed artists such as Bebe Miller, Lisa Race, and Pamela Pietro; and
  
  
• Participation in the American College Dance Festival, where you will attend master classes and present work for adjudication.
