The UCI Department of Dance was founded on the principle that aspiring professionals need substantial experience in more than one form of dance and in more than one academic area to succeed in the field of dance.
Our vision is to inspire and prepare the next generation of dance professionals.
Our department is one of the largest and most comprehensive university dance programs in the United States. Our philosophy embraces dance in its many forms offering multiple levels of ballet, modern, jazz, tap, Spanish dance, ballroom dance and a changing selection of world dance forms such as Indian (Kathak), Tango, African, and Sri Lankan dance. Our wide ranging array of courses are also offered in the academic, digital, and other studio areas as well.
We believe that student choreography, teaching, and scholarship benefit from exposure to many styles and approaches. The result is a stimulating, well-rounded educational experience.
