Dance

Overview

College of San Mateo offers many ways to participate in dance. We offer classes in:

  • dance technique
  • performance and production
  • choreography
  • dance appreciation

Students can participate in the program on different levels: exploratory if you simply want to participate and create community, or as part of the Associate of Arts Degree in Dance if you are more deeply dedicated to the art of dance or want to cultivate a career in dance.

The dance major and all of our classes are open to dancers of any skill level who would like to explore dance at a community college. Whether you aspire to transfer to a 4-year college, to earn a 2-year AS or AA degree, or to continue your dance training after high school, we would love to dance with you!
