Duke’s Dance BS integrates rigorous technique training with choreography, neuroscience, and motion-capture technology. Students master ballet, contemporary, and African diasporic forms while coding interactive stage visuals in TouchDesigner and studying biomechanics in the Human Performance Lab. Touring residencies with global companies provide mentorship, and seniors stage evening-length works in Duke’s Rubenstein Arts Center, pairing performance with scholarly reflection on gender, race, and embodiment.
