UCI舞蹈系是美国规模最大，最全面的大学舞蹈课程之一。我们的理念涵盖多种形式的舞蹈，包括多种级别的芭蕾舞，现代舞，爵士，踢踏，西班牙舞，交谊舞以及世界舞蹈形式的不断变化，例如印度（巴拉塔·纳塔姆和卡萨克），探戈，非洲和斯里兰卡舞蹈。我们为舞蹈学生提供出色的表演机会。该系每年都会举办四场完整的舞台舞蹈音乐会：由教师和客座艺术家编排的《舞蹈视觉》，由研究生编排的《新板岩与逃脱》和由大学生编排的《物理涂鸦》。此外，每个季度举行的非正式放映对我们的学生来说是一个向教师和其他学生展示新作品的绝好机会。
The UCI Dance Department is one of the largest and most comprehensive university dance programs in the United States. Our philosophy embraces dance in its many forms, offering multiple levels of ballet, modern dance, jazz, tap, Spanish dance, ballroom dance and a changing selection of world dance forms such as Indian (Bharata Natyam and Kathak), Tango, African, and Sri Lankan dance.<br><br>We provide exceptional performance opportunities for dance students. Each year the department presents four fully mounted, on-stage dance concerts: Dance Visions, choreographed by faculty and guest artists, New Slate and Dance Escape, choreographed by graduate students, and Physical Graffiti, created by undergraduate students. In addition, informal showings held every quarter are a great opportunity for our students to showcase new work to an audience of faculty and other students.<br><br>Several performance ensembles such as the Spanish Dance Ensemble, the Jazz Dance Ensemble, and the UCI Etude Ensemble offer unique areas of performance for our students. The UCI/Conservatoire de Paris International Exchange Program is another high profile opportunity that brings the students and faculty of both institutions together for performance in Irvine and in Paris.
