The Dance Program @ SDSU is a laboratory for exploration, integration, and conscious action: an ecosystem where emerging artists practice, connect, create, and reflect with depth and permeability. In this academic program, dance is personal, physical, social, and political. We prepare developing artists for dynamic, self-authored, and innovative careers in dance with a curriculum that fosters collaboration and mindful leadership. Our approach to dance cultivates dynamic relationships informed by and influential to the world around us. At the heart of this rigorous study is a love of dancing.

The Dance Programs at SDSU promote dance that is lively and connected to our immediate experience and values. We are informed by contemporary culture and current dance/art discourses and we honor our shared lineage.
