The Smith College Department of Dance is designed to give students a broad view of dance in preparation for professional performance careers, as a training ground for choreographers, or to prepare for study in graduate dance programs. Students who do not intend to pursue dance professionally are also welcome. In both the undergraduate and graduate programs at Smith the faculty is dedicated to fostering each student's unique talents as the student explores creative dance experiences. The Smith College Department of Dance is a member of the exemplary Five College Dance Department.
