TCU dance challenged the way I viewed the world and revealed an intellectual approach to dance that I had never before explored.

Michelle Timmons, BFA Ballet & English ‘06

The School for Classical and Contemporary Dance was the milk that made the Rice Krispies of my performance career snap, crackle, and pop!

Jason Thomas Mayfield, BFA Modern Dance ‘06

I was transformed from a student of art to an artist who will never stop being a student.

Laura Barbee, BFA Ballet & Modern Dance ‘06

The education I received in the dance department was very well rounded.  I didn't just learn technique, but dance history, criticism, choreography, and teaching methods. I felt prepared to enter the dance field- performing, teaching, writing, or starting and supporting my own company.

Suzanne Garrison, BFA Ballet & Modern Dance ‘05

To pursue a career in the arts, especially dance, is brave. Feel confident that the knowledge and experience gained at TCU will put you in a position to meet post-graduation challenges and succeed.

Kevin Taylor, BFA Ballet & Modern Dance ‘04

In my four years at TCU, I jumped, rolled, arabesqued, twisted, leapt, and spun.  I danced my tail off and had a hard time leaving.

Nicole Myers, BFA Ballet & Modern Dance ‘03

Not only did the training at TCU push me to new levels of artistry and athleticism, the mentoring I experienced truly shaped who I am now as a performer and as a member of the dance community.

Jessica Sand, BFA Ballet & Modern Dance ‘02

As a student, I was encouraged by my professors to deepen my choreographic explorations through independent work. Now five years on from graduation, I received funding to start my dance company and am currently working on our first project. The artistic risks I took as a student serve as a foundation for the ways I work as a professional choreographer.

Sarie Mairs Slee, BFA Modern Dance ‘02

From the supportive and dedicated faculty, amazing performance opportunities and well-rounded dance education, my experiences at TCU prepared me for anything and everything I have encountered in the dance world.

Bethany Farmer Tuffy, BFA Ballet ‘01

What can I say except that the TCU dance department Rocks! I have traveled and taught all over the world, and TCU dance has truly garnered an incredible reputation. I feel the dance faculty instilled in me the tools needed to make me not just a dancer, but a complete artist!!
