The department recognizes a responsibility to build public understanding and appreciation of dance as a diverse creative, cultural and educational expressive art form. A commitment to cultural, racial and ethnic diversity is reflected throughout the curriculum and in recruitment of faculty, students and staff. We are committed to academic and artistic excellence, inclusive diversity, freedom of expression, anti-racist activism, social transformation and civic responsibility.
