You love to dance. You’d rather dance than do just about anything else. Yet you wonder how you can turn dance into a ‘career’ in dance. Dance Day introduces college-bound students to Montclair State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance. The event features dance technique and creative process classes, workshops and panels, and a concert featuring our award-winning student performers showcased in choreography by faculty and guest artists. Participants hear a College of the Arts overview; learn about auditioning; take an optional campus tour; and see a performance by our students. Learn the steps to becoming a Montclair State University dance major and turning that experience into a life in the arts.
