Performance Opportunities
Performance Opportunities Students are able to get non-credit performance experience by dancing in student works which are choreographed for various class projects.
There are five classes in the dance curriculum which offer credit for formal performance opportunities for undergraduate dance majors:
• DCE 250 (Performance Practicum) allows students to earn credit for dancing and/or rehearsing for works choreographed by students. Students gain access to this course through auditions, which are held each semester, or by invitation. See DCE 250 Performance Practicum in this Handbook (http://www.uncg.edu/dce/ughb250.html). Note: DCE 250 may be repeated for a maximum of 8 credits. It is a pass-fail course.
• DCE 143 (Introduction to Dance Repertory) offers performance opportunities for students at the 112 level or higher in contemporary dance. In the fall semester, students in this course typically serve as dancers for first year MFA students. May be repeated once for credit.
• DCE 243 (Beginning Dance Repertory) is a regularly scheduled course; it allows students to earn credit for working on reconstructed or new repertory by faculty or guest artists. Students may register online for this course. Repertory pieces are normally produced in a formal Department concert. Students must be at the 200 level of modern or higher to take 243.
• DCE 343 (Intermediate Dance Repertory) is a regularly scheduled course which allows students to earn credit for working on reconstructed or new repertory by faculty or guest artists. Repertory pieces are normally produced in a formal Department concert. Students must be at the 300-or 400-level of modern to take 343. (Occasionally a section is for a particular dance style other than modern.)
• DCE 443 Advanced Dance Repertory is faculty choreography open by invitation or audition only.
