Master Programs in Performing Arts Dance Dance Studies
The future of dance students all over the world often lies in the hands of those willing to pursue an advanced degree in the subject. A Master in Dance Studies can provide students with the knowledge they need to take their dancing skills to an entirely new level.
What is a Master in Dance Studies? This type of program tends to focus on advanced elements of dance. While an undergraduate degree might focus more on techniques, a master’s degree in dance studies also involves research and analysis of dance and its history. Many programs require a thesis to be written and defended, as well as several research papers to be prepared over the course of study. Length of study typically lasts for one to two years.
Pursuing a master’s degree in dance studies can help students obtain a greater appreciation for all of the elements involved with a dance production. Some programs may even give students the opportunity to demonstrate their dancing ability and knowledge in front of a variety of audiences.
The cost of earning a Master in Dance Studies differs depending on where students plan on studying. Students should take into account the expense of costumes, private training and traveling for performances. To learn about all of the costs involved, be sure to thoroughly research the program you are considering.
For the most part, graduates of an advanced level dance program go on to become teachers at government or educational institutions. Some may pursue careers in professional productions or as consultants with various agencies. Some students may even choose to follow up their master’s degree with a PhD in Dance Studies. Advanced studies provide students with plenty of knowledge and exposure to succeed in the dance industry professionally.
Students may apply for and possibly complete some courses online. A bachelor’s degree in a related field may need to be earned first, though this may not always be the case.
