Through Meredith’s Department of Dance and Theatre, you will find performance opportunities beginning in the freshman year. You’ll work with faculty who are professional dancers, actors, choreographers, designers and directors.

Academic Programs
Meredith offers undergraduate degrees in dance and theatre. Each major has several options. As a dance major, you can choose from concentrations in dance education, performance and choreography, and private studio teaching. Theatre majors can add a concentration in musical theatre or earn K-12 licensure. Minors in dance and theatre are also available.

Performance Opportunities
Meredith’s varied performance opportunities include annual dance concerts and main stage theatre productions, plus several studio productions in each program. You don’t have to major in dance or theatre to participate—auditions for both Meredith Dance Theatre and Meredith Performs Theatre productions are open to all Meredith students.

Community Involvement
Meredith has close connections with the local artistic community. The department also regularly sponsors opportunities for the campus and the Raleigh community to experience dance and theatre by attending productions or taking community classes. Visit our news and events page for information on current options.
