Webster University’s Department of Dance is housed in The Leigh Gerdine College of Fine Arts.

This department provides excellence in training through both the BA and BFA Degrees.

Webster University’s Department of Dance offers a broad spectrum of concert dance forms:

•the exploration of the inherent traditionalism of classical ballet

•the risk-taking avant-garde flavor of modern dance

•the wonderful theatricality of jazz and tap

Dance Majors choose to emphasize either Ballet or Modern, but receive a thorough understanding of the world of dance.  The goal of the department is to prepare students for careers in performance, choreography, private instruction, and for entrance into master of fine arts (MFA) programs.
