The Bryn Mawr College Dance Program offers dance experiences that meet the needs and interests of the many and diverse students who choose Bryn Mawr or Haverford College. Our program is designed to both welcome the newcomer as well as support the continuing progress of trained dancers. We offer a range of technique courses, from introductory to advanced levels, in different styles and genres of dance; multiple performance ensembles; courses in composition and choreography; and lecture/seminar courses that introduce students to dance as an exciting area of research and inquiry. In addition to other opportunities such as our School Performance Project and Dance Summer Study program, we further enhance student experiences in dance by taking advantage of our proximity to the lively dance and arts scene in Philadelphia and by offering master classes and workshops with regional, national, and international artists.
