Welcome
The Program of Movement and Dance at the University of Rochester is committed
to offering movement study that honors and informs the whole student.
It emphasizes the creative process, contemplative practice, somatic education,
and an appreciation of diverse ways of moving. Each class in the program, in its own way, asks how the individual moves and how that relates to society at large. Students are encouraged to be open and respect their immediate experience as a significant aspect of the educational process, and to tap into the resources they have: intellectual, emotional, artistic, and pragmatic.
