Dance

Our dance program is all about life-long learning and serves our students, the BU community, and general public. Whatever your passion, from learning to performing to attending events, we have something to offer. You can take our classes for academic credit and/or as recreational dance classes. Our aerial, Pilates, and pole classes are great for conditioning and muscle toning. If you love dance as a form of creative expression, we’ve got technique and repertory classes that focus on the art and joy of movement. A dance minor is available for undergraduates.

Want to learn more about our classes? View Dance syllabi here.

For those interested in performance, our specially designed Dance Theater hosts events and is available for rentals. If you’re a student interested in performance or choreography, join Dance Theatre Group or one of many other dance groups on campus.

Dance Up Close: An Ongoing Series of Video Playlists

Enjoy our themed playlists of videos to keep you inspired and feeding your curiosity. We acknowledge that dance is a reflection of the social and cultural fabric that surrounds us as seen through the eyes and imagination of choreographers and dancers. We pay tribute to their vision and welcome this time to widen our lens and look more closely. Tune in every month for a new playlist from Jacob's Pillow!
