Dance

Trained in ballet, modern and contemporary dance, and dance composition, our students have access to unique performance opportunities as they compete in national competitions, network with guest choreographers and develop their artistry.

WHY CHOOSE CSUF Dance

With small class sizes, our accomplished faculty work individually with dancers, providing them with detailed feedback and mentoring them as they work toward their goals. In addition to our esteemed faculty, dance students connect with guest artists to learn about the industry, develop their network and collaborate with leading dance professionals.

Our dance program would not be complete without its performances. Dance majors have multiple opportunities throughout their educational career to advance their artistry and bolster their resume with professional experience. They perform in two fully staged dance concerts every year, complete senior projects that showcase their creativity, participate in student choreography showcases and get involved with the Dance Repertory Performance Co.

  • CSUF has been accredited by the National Association of Schools of Dance since 1982.
  • Students in our program have repeatedly been chosen to perform at the American College Dance Festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
  • Students practice and perform in multiple venues on campus, including two dance studios and the McGarvey Family Dance/Performance Studio.
