Description:
The Dance: Choreography and Performance Skills Certificate will give the student dancer an opportunity to present validation of his or her time, effort, and talent in dance. The certificate encompasses teaching, performing, and the choice of a dance style.
Choreography and Performance is often the necessary foundation to succeed at higher levels of other dance styles. Dancers work on posture, placement, and general movement skills. These are performed at the barre, center floor and across the floor. Flexibility, strength, and balance are strived for in an environment requiring great discipline.
The student who receives the Dance: Choreography and Performance Skills Certificate will have a better opportunity to obtain employment at dance studios and recreational classes, or work as a choreographer with community or school plays.
More information about the Dance program can be found at the Dance page on the Athletics Department website.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate proficiency in dance form, in both the performance and production aspects of dance;
- Display the skills and techniques necessary for employment as instructors, choreographers, and/or performers; and
- Apply the craft and aesthetic qualities of dance orally, practically, and in writing.

While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
