University of Georgia Department of Dance

Welcome to the Department of Dance at the University of Georgia!

DANCE at GEORGIA has much to offer! The UGA Department of Dance has a long-standing tradition of training and educating talented and creative dancers who go on to dance professionally, teach in a multitude of contexts from studios to P12 schools, work as arts administrators in non-profits, pursue physical therapy, or other graduate work, as well as personal training, or forge creative interdisciplinary careers. A distinguishing characteristic of our program is its unique offering of a multitude of styles. 

We currently have six full-time faculty members, along with many additional part-time faculty, four studios and our very own theatre within the Dance Building. 

Many dance students at UGA Dance are also involved in other pursuits such as our Double Dawg degree (Dance AB/Non-profit Management & Leadership) MA), our P-12 Teacher Certification Track, another minor, or a double major. Students often take advantage of our dance program as well as the plethora of other top-notch academic opportunities this highly rated university offers. Combining your love of dance with another field can enhance your versatility, your wealth and breadth of knowledge and your understanding of how the world is more connected and interdisciplinary than one might think. We call it Dancing Beyond Boundaries! Check out our promotional video below where our current students highlight why they chose UGA Dance.

Warm regards,
