Dance as Cura Personalis

As a program, we follow the University's mission of Cura Personalis, or care for the whole person. To support our students, we support a rounded educations for dancers with classes in technique, performance, history, physical wellness, education, and more! We also encourage service activities with our Dance for Parkinson's and ZagDance programs, as well as give our teachers the ability to offer Cura Personalis days in their classes to give days off during stressful or busy parts of the semester. In past years, we have offered special programming that has included discussions of body image in the dance worlds, panels on diversity, free workout classes in our University fitness center, workshops, and body-positive activities to support the education and mental health of our Dance students.
