Performance opportunities are available to both majors and non-majors.Career options include professional performance or choreography; dance studio or company management; child development; dance therapy; movement analysis; dance ethnology; dance criticism; dance science; academic research; and teaching.
The MiraCosta Dance Department explodes onto the stage with compelling choreographic works by faculty and students. You won’t want to miss this exciting performance of contemporary and classical dance, including modern, jazz,
hip hop, tap, ballroom, and world dance genres. Join us to experience the joy and passion of dance!
