Dance
- Mission Statment
The Weber State University Dance Area is part of the Department of Performing Arts in the Lindquist College of Arts & Humanities. Its mission aligns with the university Mission Statement emphasizing Access, Learning and Community.
Learning:
- Students work closely with faculty, staff, community and peers in the study of dance techniques, creative process, and history and theory.
- Students develop skills, attitudes and understandings that are key to our art form, and investigate dance’s relationship to other subjects and
- disciplines.
Community:
- Students connect academic coursework and the tight-knit culture of public performance with community engagement. They explore diverse perspectives and collaborate on high-impact projects that harness the power of Dance to impact our lives, our immediate surroundings, and our world.
Access:
- Through regular advisement and scholarship opportunities, students are supported in their efforts to complete their degree, in an environment that supports student expression.
