Program overview
A graduate program in dance is not just about dancing—it's a deep exploration of body, culture, and creativity. You will systematically study core courses such as dance history and theory, choreography techniques, dance education, physical training, and dance anthropology, while also having the opportunity to engage with China's rich ethnic folk dances, classical dance, and modern dance innovations. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field: for example, Beijing Dance Academy and Minzu University of China boast top-tier faculty and performance resources, allowing you to study distinctive dance forms like Dunhuang dance and Tibetan dance up close. This program is ideal for students with a dance background who want to deeply understand the cultural logic behind dance, or who aspire to become choreographers, teachers, or researchers. If you are interested in cross-cultural dance exchange, the graduate program also offers practical opportunities such as fieldwork and international workshops.
