Dance has been part of the curriculum at Newcomb College
since its
founding in 1886. The faculty of the
Newcomb Dance Program offers a dance major and minor designed to
provide serious dance students with a comprehensive background of
ballet and modern techniques with extensive performance experience.
Completion of a major and minor prepares
the student for further study on a university or professional
level.
The Newcomb Dance Program regularly sponsors residencies
and
master classes with nationally acclaimed guest artists. Recent
visiting artists include Kitty Daniels, Robert Small, Phyllis Lamhut,
Annabelle Gamson, Rachel Lampert, Heywood "Woody" McGriff, Wade
Madsen, James Martin, and Lynda Davis. Guest artists frequently
choreograph pieces for the Newcomb Dance Company.
