Dance research encourages independent exploration of artistic practice, teaching methods, historical context, and societal connections. Within the Master of Dance Studies program, you'll analyze practices, theories, and topics that spark both personal and professional curiosity. Beyond developing specialized dance knowledge, you'll acquire critical thinking and practical skills valuable for careers, global engagement, and community participation. Our distinguished faculty—recognized practitioners, educators, and researchers—will guide your self-directed learning with their worldwide connections and expertise tailored to your academic goals. Your advisor will stimulate new perspectives, pushing you to examine your research subject from diverse angles. The program concludes with a written thesis, potentially including a performance component.
