On behalf of the dance faculty let me welcome you to dance at UCI. With world-class scholars and artists, the UCI dance program offers an array of dynamic programs and professional training that distinguishes us as one of the most highly competitive dance programs in the country. Our training in modern, jazz and ballet prepares the students for rigorous careers as performers, teachers and choreographers.
Students from our program have gone on to dance with Momix, Hubbard Street, Mark Morris, Nashville Ballet and Oberlin Dance Collective, while others are on the faculty at Virginia Commonwealth, Texas Christian University and Kent State. Dancers at UCI receive a well-rounded education, with nationally known scholars guiding their studies in dance history, Laban notation, digital technology and critical theory in dance. Recently we built three new dance studios, bringing our department total to 6 studios plus a state of the art motion capture studio.
Our graduate students get several opportunities each year to choreograph, participate in on-line telematic performances and other dance media projects, and perform in faculty work. The program offers each graduate a wide range of teaching experience through our faculty mentored TA program. Our academics are rigorous and deeply grounded.
