Dance Division

Faculty

  

---

Most students in the Dance Division pursue the Bachelor of Fine Arts  (B.F.A.) degree which includes 18 credits in the Liberal Arts Department . Students who enroll in the Diploma program instead of the B.F.A. degree program are exempted from the Liberal Arts requirement. The course of study requires four years of residency at Juilliard regardless of previous study elsewhere. 

Dance audition requirements can be found in the Admissions area on our Web site: www.juilliard.edu/apply.

Standards of Achievement and Evaluation

Student progress is evaluated by each instructor according to goals defined in their syllabi and by the Dean and Director of Dance and the Provost. Classroom participation and progress are evaluated by each teacher individually as well as by the group as a whole.

At the mid-point period of each semester, all Dance Division students have individual conferences with their entire faculty.  The Dean and Director, Associate Director, and faculty are available for office hours by appointment.
