Mission

We are dedicated to providing students with a 21st century dance education in which the focus is on technical training, creative exploration, collaborative dance-making and multi-disciplinary performance. Successful students completing the program are prepared to transfer into four-year institutions where they can pursue careers as choreographers, performers, educators, historians, and theorists. Additionally, they will leave with a competitive set of skills to enter the professional dance arena and a life-long commitment to dance. Our program collaborates on curriculum and artistic productions with the music, theatre and art programs. If you choose to study dance at Rio Hondo College, you will be training with faculty who are working professionals committed to their art and trained educators who are committed to your artistic development.
