Dance Science Degree Coming Fall 2010

Beginning in the fall of 2010, the Texas A&M University Dance Program will offer a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology: Dance Science track. This 120-hour degree focuses on dance research, anatomy, nutrition, injury prevention, psychological aspects of the dancer and proper biomechanical principles within dance technique.

Additional coursework include Dance Production, Dance Composition, Pilates, Dance History, Partnering, Improvisation, and Dance Pedagogy.

The Department of Health & Kinesiology is in a unique position to offer students a well-rounded education with a balance of dance and science courses. Dance professionals, researchers and kinesiologists offer students a cohesive view of dance health and wellness.

Dance scientists are professionals who are employed by dance companies and dance training facilities throughout the world to devise effective training programs as well as advise dancers regarding nutrition and injury prevention/care. Dance scientists also become researchers, dance therapists and better informed dancers and teachers.
