School of Dance Professional Protocol

It is in the best interest of every dance major to promote the development and welfare of his/her chosen area as well as the entire School of Dance and to generate a spirit of good will, professionalism, and respect for faculty and fellow students. It is expected that each major will take his/her responsibility seriously and with a strong sense of commitment to the exploration and development of his/her full creative potential. Students are encouraged to discuss concerns they may have with a faculty member/advisor so that a satisfactory solution may be found.
