The Bachelor of Arts in Dance presents a broad perspective on dance training within a liberal arts context. Students completing the B.A. in Dance are well prepared to pursue both graduate work and professional careers in Dance Education, Dance HistoryCriticism, and Dance Performance. The B.A. has two areas of concentration: Contemporary Dance and Flamenco. Students who choose the Flamenco concentration will be advised to participate for two summers in the annual Flamenco Festival held on the University of New Mexico campus each June. The program also offers minors in Dance, Flamenco, and World Dance. Auditions to be accepted as a Dance major are the last Friday of January. Faculty dance concert and guest artist auditions are mandatory for all dance majors and are held on Tuesday evenings. Dance majors are required to perform in these works if cast.
