The Performance and Choreography track is geared towards students who aspire to perform and/or choreograph in a professional dance setting or want to pursue a master’s degree in the dance field. Students in this track are exposed to the higher levels of our technique classes as well as choreography/composition classes. Additionally, they are provided with the tools to engage in critical thinking and research strategies to create their own choreographic products. The curriculum emphasizes the role of dance as a catalyst for artistic expression and a means for developing a global perspective. Respecting the body instrument is paramount to the technical dance training at Texas State. The dance faculty selects students with a strong technique base and/or a highly developed creative sense through auditions (fall and spring).
