Curricular programming in Dance @ MIT includes courses, workshops, field trips, technology experiements, and performances. The AMAZING GUEST ARTISTS and STUDENT PERFORMERS affiliated with MIT DTE have included an astonishing array of professional and emergent artists! Visitors to our co-curricular dance offerings at MIT have included master tap dancer Dianne Walker; McArthur "Genius" awardee and "Popaction" innovator Elizabeth Streb; postmodern choreographer (and MIT alum) Gus Solomons, Jr.; Hip Hop experts Rok-A-Fella and Kwikstep; Baroque dance master Ken Pierce; internationally renowned dance theorist Brenda Dixon- Gottschild; feminist dance visionary Alexandra Beller; and downtown diva dancers Regina Rocke and Dawn Springer..

For dance performance opportunities, students are invited to work with the MIT Dance Theater Ensemble (DTE), a co-curricular dance ensemble supported by the MIT Theater Arts and Dance Program and the Music and Theater Arts Section of MIT.

Students can earn a SHASS concentration in Dance through the Theater Arts Program. For more information, click on Courses, and contact Professor Thomas F. DeFrantz.
