| Department of Choreography |
|
| To develop professional choreographers with unrestrained imagination and individuality, the Department
of Choreography provides various courses on dance, arts, liberal arts, and social sciences. Students are
expected to attain a certain level of performance capability in dance besides their comprehensive understanding
of dance and arts in general. During their freshman and sophomore years, students will take dance performance
classes to get familiar with various genres and techniques of dance. Students will have many chances to find,
develop and experiment their own body languages through theatrical dance courses of junior and senior years. |
