Supporting the university's goal of developing global relationships and cultural learning experiences, The School for Classical & Contemporary Dance at TCU encourages students to pursue international experiences through TCU's Study Abroad programs. Dance exchange with TCU's sister university, Universidad de las Américas-Puebla, México, is an excellent opportunity to experience academic and cultural studies abroad.

 

The School for Classical & Contemporary Dance at TCU seeks to provide every dance major with an international experience prior to graduation. Dance faculty value cross-cultural exchange for a total education and strongly support intellectual and experiential studies. In collaboration with Fort Worth Sister Cities International, our students have traveled to Italy, Germany, Mexico and Japan to perform, participate in master classes, and learn something of these cultures first hand. DanceTCU has hosted companies from Germany, Italy and Hungary. Recent International guest artists-in-residence include Sabrina Castillo (Guatemala), Alejandra Díaz (Paraguay), Miguel Mancillas (México), and Terrie West Poore (México). Visiting dance companies participating in the TCU Latin American Arts Festival have included: El Portón (Argentina), Momentum (Guatemala), Compañía Sunny Savoy (México), Ballet Nacional del Perú and Intermitente (Paraguay).
