The Dance Program
The Dance Program at Ohio Northern University is housed within the
College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Communication Arts.
Ohio Northern is a small, private liberal arts institution set in rural
Ohio. Programs offered at ONU emphasize a strong liberal arts education
and provide a flexible course of study (maybe something here that could
shoot you to course descriptions or the dance minor blurb listed below?)
that adapts easily to individual needs and interests while maintaining
professional standards. Dance classes average eight students per class
with an accent on student and faculty interaction.
Guest artists, master classes and dance company performances are an
essential part of the dance program. ONU has two performances per year
with guest artists teaching, choreographing, and performing with dance
students. Guest artists give students a diversity of dance experiences
and provides an opportunity to learn about many different dance styles.
Ohio Northern University Dance Company
The ONU Dance Company performs on the mainstage of the Freed Center
of the Performing Arts performing twice annually. Additional performance
opportunities are available in chamber concerts and musical theatre
productions.. The Dance Program is committed to bringing student
and professional dancers together in class, rehearsals and performances.
The dance company has traveled to Scotland to perform in the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival.
Acceptance into the ONU Dance Company and participation in the guest
artist choreography projects is via audition and based on talent and
technical skills as judged by the faculty or artist in residence. Auditions
are open to ONU students regardless of class rank or major/concentration
area of study and any member of the community age 16 and older.
Dance Minor
The Dance Minor is a “free-standing” minor open to anyone
within the university regardless of their choice of major or concentration.
The course requirements for a Dance Minor include 29 credit hours of
technique, dance composition, dance history and dance practicum (performance)
credit. A student has the choice of a ballet or modern emphasis within
the Dance Minor. Elective credits may be taken in jazz, tap, social
dance and folk dance. (A link here for course descriptions or will
that be part of the menu?)
