Explore. Discover. Dance.
“Webster University was just what I needed in a college experience. The department
of dance provided an atmosphere where I could prepare for a professional career while
understanding the importance of being a student.
The teachers and staff provided crucial support and assistance in my development as
an artist and a dancer. Because of their dedication to their students, I am able to
live out my dream every day and share that same encouraging spirit they had for me."
