The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Dance at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts, University of California Irvine, provides a comprehensive dance education focused on performance, choreography, and the intellectual study of dance. The program combines technical proficiency with academic training and offers ample performance opportunities—including five annual dance concerts and interdisciplinary collaborations. Students take required courses in dance technique, choreography, dance history, improvisation, kinesiology, and critical writing, alongside elective options that can be tailored to individual interests. The curriculum prepares graduates for careers as dancers, choreographers, educators, or for advanced study. Admission is selective and requires both university application and an audition. Students are placed into technique classes by skill level at entry and must meet progression requirements, including advanced technique in at least one style (ballet, modern, jazz, or hip-hop). The department emphasizes versatile training and academic rigor, supporting a holistic approach to dance arts education.
