Minor Overview
The Minor in Dance is for anyone who loves to move and is curious about the world of dance. The Minor requirements include 18-21 credit hours and can be designed to the student's interests. Students take 3-4 technique courses of any style, as well as courses that provide creative, historical, and cultural perspectives on dance as an art form. A total of six advanced credit hours in dance is included. Dance Minors can also audition for performance opportunities (listed below) and submit work to be shown in the undergraduate choreographic dance concert series Dances @ 8 hosted by Chi Tau Epsilon, SHSU's Dance Honor Society. Contact dance professor Travis Lake today if you are interested in learning more about our exciting dance minor offering - tlake@shsu.edu.
