Best of Connecticut College

Hello Dance World!

The dance department at Connecticut College is unparalleled. It gives its student plenty support, open forum to discuss issues and a very strong sense of student voice and participation. The course load though vigorous provides dance training that yields strength and finesse within the technique. The curriculum is well rounded for both majors and minors and exposes its dancers to duties outside of just dancing such as technical work. The studio spaces a gorgeous and growing more and more beautiful by the day as the department continues to upgrade equipment. Not to mention that the department does all this while producing incredibly beautiful, high-quality, professional productions/shows. All on within a ridiculously small budget. Thank goodness for a very well connected faculty, especially department chair. Beyond being well connected the dance faculty are so well trained and amazing instructor. They push us to achieve the most we possibly can with our dance training (forcing us to work us and play harder) while building relationships with us that show their love and support. My favorite part of the department is that it is my family away from home in some many ways. We love, we disagree, we cry, and we laugh together, but we always remain close-knit and are there for one another when needed (as well as when the support is not needed ;] )

attractive

Conn kids are generally attractive and well-dressed. Whether you like artsy guys or preppy guys you'll find them here.

lots of freedom

Honestly, as long as you're not belligerent or throwing up all over the place, you're allowed to do what you want on this campus. People walk around with water bottles and cups and campus safety rarely does anything about it (the most they do is ask you to pour it out if you're being really obvious).
