Dance at Union

Union’s dance program, which enrolls nearly 150 students each term, blends discipline, exploration, and experimentation to create an environment that is conducive to learning and development. Multilevel technique classes are offered in ballet, jazz, lyrical jazz, modern dance, Broadway dance, hip hop, pilates for performers, dance and fitness, as well as a variety of choreography classes.Throughout the year, the schedule also includes many workshops, master classes and dance residencies. The dance program has become a magnet for a contingent of high-caliber students. These young women and men may not wish to make dance the focus of their studies—indeed, they may be opting for careers as engineers, anthropologists, doctors or teachers—but they love and value dance and want to give it a place in their lives.
