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 PE Progressive courses and/or specialized recreational dance classes. Our aerial and pole classes are great for conditioning and muscle toning. If you love dance as a form of creative expression, we’ve got technique classes that focus on the art and joy of movement. If you enjoy social and cultural dance forms, try our Afro-Caribbean, Ballroom, CardioJazzFunk, and Hip Hop classes.
A dance minor is available for undergraduates. New credit dance classes offered in College of Fine Art, School of Theatre. Check out CFA DA courses on MyBU.
