Program overview
Dance Education, simply put, teaches you how to dance well and how to teach dance to others. It's not just about dancing—it combines performance, choreography, teaching methods, human science, and art theory. Core courses include ballet basics, Chinese classical dance, ethnic and folk dance, modern dance, choreography, dance pedagogy, anatomy and movement science, and Chinese and international dance history. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field—for example, Beijing Dance Academy and Minzu University of China offer rich resources in Chinese ethnic and folk dance, from Tibetan and Mongolian to Dai and Uyghur, all as real classroom material. This major suits students who love dance, have patience, and enjoy working with people—if you love both the spotlight on stage and the satisfaction of helping others find their body expression, this is the right fit.
