Overview

The Dance program at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee meets the scheduling constraints of professional working performers, choreographers and educators. That means you’ll have the flexibility to learn on-campus during summer semesters and online or on-campus during fall and spring semesters.

Through intensive in-person learning and self-directed research, you’ll connect traditions to emergent forms and new communities, bringing social and racial justice into focus through practice. In-depth choreographic practice, research and dance scholarship provide a framework for you to situate your work within a global perspective.

With our program, you will be well-equipped to develop your career as a professional dancer, choreographer or educator in the field. And because we are a collaborative community of artists ourselves, we are committed to providing you with an immersive and transformative educational experience to get you to where you want to be next.
