A.A. in Dance (Transfer)

Mt. San Jacinto College

The Associate of Arts degree in Dance provides a pathway for students who are interested in transferring to a 4-year university. It is designed to provide a foundation in dance history and theory, technique, and aesthetics in a small liberal arts environment. Students are immersed in a comprehensive program of dance study with a focus on choreography, improvisation, performance, history, and core techniques in commercial and contemporary styles. Students who complete the A.A. in Dance are prepared to audition for university dance programs and pursue the completion of a 4-year or other advanced degree. This two-year concentration also prepares the student for the rigors of pursuing a career as a dancer.
