Dance News
The Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Division of Humanities offers an array of opportunities in dance and the performing arts.
Each year, the college's dance program presents a fully produced concert showcasing original dance works. Concerts are performed on the stage of the beautiful Miniaci Performing Arts Center and feature choreography by faculty, students, and guest artists. The goal of each production is to provide audiences with a dance experience which questions, moves, and entertains, while also providing our students with professional-level performance experience.
Participation in the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences' dance program is open to all NSU students, faculty, and staff, as well as members of the local community.
