Now Part of the School of Visual and Performing Arts
The
School
of
Visual
and Performing Arts is pleased to announce the inclusion of a Dance Minor
at
ULM
in the fall semester of 2004. The Dance Minor for the Bachelor of Arts
degree is intended to provide students majoring in other academic fields
with a concentration in dance. The Dance Minor requires 21 semester hours
of study in jazz dance, modern dance, ballet, theory of dance,
organization and administration of dance, choreography and composition,
history and philosophy of dance, dance repertory ensemble, and supportive
courses including ballroom dance, folk dance, and kinesiology.
Accompanying the new
Dance Minor Program in the fall semester will be the opening of two
state-of-the-art dance studios and a student dance repertory ensemble.
Students interested in auditioning for the dance repertory ensemble should
contact Sara Sanders at 342-1312 or e-mail sanders@ulm.edu.
ULM
