The Bachelor of Arts in Dance is designed to provide training in dance with an opportunity to emphasize dance performance, choreography, or teaching. The major is organized around a 20-unit core, a minimum of 12 technique units, and 13 units of emphasis electives. Emphasis area courses in dance, music, and other related fields should be chosen according to career goals in consultation with an advisor. New majors and minors must take the placement audition on the advising day at the beginning of each semester and/or designated days during each semester. It is mandatory that students consult with their advisor on a semester basis and maintain a grade point average of 2.0. Program Scope The focus of the dance program in the School of Theatre and Dance is to study dance as an art form. The Bachelor of Arts in Dance provides professional preparation in dance and an opportunity to study dance performance, choreography, teaching, and dance theory. The goal of the program is to help students develop strong foundational skills and knowledge necessary for a variety of professional careers. SF State dancers have established their own companies, performed with professional companies, developed careers in K-12 education or supplemented their education for work in private dance or Pilates studios. Graduates have also successfully completed graduate dance studies at major institutions. Students with a major other than dance should investigate both the Minor in Dance, and the Minor in World Music and Dance that is offered in the School of Music. The B.A. is organized into three components: Core, Dance Technique, and Emphasis Electives. Majors must complete a 17-unit core covering basic studies, the body as instrument, and aesthetics and history. Choices are available in the core to gear the student toward their chosen emphasis. Career Outlook Career options for dance majors are very diverse. Majors graduating from this program move into a variety of dance-related areas including: performance; choreography; musical theatre work; and teaching in public schools, private studios, and community centers. Other dance-related careers include the completion of certification programs in Pilates/dance conditioning and other somatic practices. SF State’s graduates have also been accepted into graduate schools for MFA and doctoral work. Individuals also apply their knowledge and skills gained from the study of dance to careers in arts administration and other related work in non-profit organizations. The San Francisco Bay Area has a very active and vibrant dance, music, and theatre community with many performance ensembles, training centers, concerts, and arts service organizations. There are many ways for graduates to become involved in this larger dance and arts community.
