UIUC’s BFA Dance program merges rigorous technique training—ballet, modern, hip-hop, West African—with choreography labs that integrate motion capture and site-specific improvisation. Students perform on Krannert’s stages, collaborate with music-tech majors on sensor-based scores, and tour outreach shows to Illinois schools. Somatics, dance science, and arts entrepreneurship round out a curriculum that sends alumni to professional companies, film, and innovative choreography residencies.
