This is one of only three dance majors f!Vailable in the State University System. The objective of the Dance Program at SJSU is to offer a broadly based dance education with exposure to a variety of movement and theory classes. The curriculum is designed to follow the standards established by the National Association ofSchools of Dance, the recognized accreditation organization. It is anticipated that Dance will begin the process which leads to accreditation next year. All Dance Majors elect a primary concentration in either ballet, modem, or jazz dance technique and a secondary concentration in one ofthe remaining two areas. At least one year of study is required in the remaining area. Students must also take ethnic, tap, historical, and social dance classes. Required theory courses cover history, choreog-raphy, production, notation, music, kinesiology, and philosophy. An important part of the majors' education is the con-tinual contact with major art-ists. This contact is maintained through the visiting guest artist program, workshops, guest fac-ulty, and through the recon-struction of notated dances. Our students have worked with na-tionally and internationally acclaimed artists such as Cliff Keuter, Elina Mooney, Bill Evans, Gregg Lizenbery, Lucas Hoving, Otis Sallid, Billy Good-son, Keith Terry, and the faculty of the San Francisco Ballet School.
