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.
