Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Fine Arts program in Performance: Dance combines rigorous technical training across ballet, modern, jazz, contemporary, West African and street dance styles with partnering, improvisation, choreography, anatomy, music, film and dance history. The program is full-time over four years, with roughly three-quarters of class time spent in studio work and rehearsal, and includes public performance opportunities alongside guest artists and a partnership with Fall for Dance North. Admission follows a Grades-Plus process: applicants must have prior training in at least one of ballet, modern, jazz or contemporary dance, and complete an audition, either in person or by video submission, together with a resume, two instructor reference forms and a non-refundable assessment fee. The program suits students seeking a conservatory-style, performance-focused route into professional dance, with graduates typically moving into performance, choreography and dance-related creative and production roles.
