Dance
The Program in Dance offers opportunities to study and perform modern, ballet, jazz, African and dances of the African Diaspora with a dedicated faculty. Faculty members have danced with The Joffrey Ballet and Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, among others. Together with Duke Performances, the Dance Program developed extended residencies with Shen Wei Dance Arts, David Dorfman Dance, Alonzo King Lines Ballet and Vincent Mantsoe. Dance students may qualify for fellowships to participate in classes offered by the American Dance Festival, which is in residence at Duke for six weeks each summer.
Student dance groups such as Dance Black, DanceSlam, Defining Movement, Duke Chinese Dance Troupe, Duke Dhamaka, On Tap, Precision Step Team and Sabrosura energize the campus dance scene. Students interested in the arts may wish to join the Arts Theme House.
