Middlebury offers a full major in Dance in the Department of Theatre and Dance with an emphasis on contemporary forms. Students may choose to double or joint major with another discipline, such as Dance/Spanish, Dance/Environmental Studies, or Dance/English, or consider a dance minor. Students can also choose from a selection of dance classes for general college credit or for Physical Education.
Experiential Anatomy and Dance History are part of the basic requirements for a dance major, along with The Creative Process, a course which explores the fundamental process of making art through theatre, dance, music and visual arts projects. Classes in art and music, and related studies in design and production are also encouraged for the student seriously planning a professional career in choreography or performance. Senior Independent Projects provide in-depth experiences in creative or written work.
