11 dancers from Susanville’s J and J Performing Arts made the trek to the University of Nevada Reno to get a preview of the school’s new B.A. in Dance program.
The group of talented dancers were given a glimpse of what the college has to offer by UNR dance educators Eve Allen and Cari Cunningham.
According to the school’s website, UNR’s major in Dance allows students to engage in the rigorous physical practice of dance training, while simultaneously developing a deep understanding of the historical, cultural and performative lineage that underpins the field of dance.
Students pursuing this major will combine the cognitive and kinetic skills necessary to enter the field as dance practitioners, makers, educators, administrators, and/or scholars.
In order to balance the artistic, analytical and kinesthetic, Dance majors are doing, making, and studying dance throughout their undergraduate careers with an emphasis on continued reflection and growth as both practitioners and scholars.
