Dance
Dance activities at Carleton are designed to give students of all levels opportunities for active participation in three basic areas: technique, choreography and analysis, and performance. The broadest goal of these offerings is to increase understanding of the art of dance as a contribution to a liberal arts education. Among more specific goals are the development of a trained, articulate body, increased choreographic skill and more finely-honed performance. Advanced students may apply to the Department of Theater and Dance for a special major in Dance.
You can major in this subject.
For more information, see the Theater and Dance department site.

Caroline Giese '11 says:When I visited campus, I went to a dance rehearsal to get an idea of what dance was like at Carleton. I was peeking through the windows hoping they wouldn't see me, but all of a sudden the music stopped, and they all came out and dragged me into the studio. They asked me my name, where I was from, and what kind of dance I liked to do. They answered all of my questions about the school and stopped their rehearsal for that night to teach me something they had been working on. I thought that if they were typical Carleton students, then I wanted to be here too.
