UNCG School of Dance graduate programs offer rich experiences in artistry and scholarship that entwine practice, creative expression, and critical investigation. Understanding arises from opportunities to investigate dance through experiential and analytical lenses such as bodily training, improvisation, performance, choreography, aesthetics, education, somatics, history, and cultural and social critique. The MFA is normally completed over three years and culminates in a project designed and carried out by the student with the support of faculty.
