Course work emphasizes both a theoretical and technical background and includes opportunities for sacred dance throughout the year, ministering to the student body and local congregations. Opportunities to perform are open to dancers by auditions. The student company, The Westmont Windancers, performs with the Sacred Dance Guild, the Santa Barbara Dance Alliance, and in various campus and off-campus concerts and recitals. Over the course of four years, students will study Dance History and Philosophy, Choreography and Composition, Sacred Dance. Technique classes include Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and Sacred Dance.Opportunities to attend world class dance concerts in the Santa Barbara area are included in the curriculum such as White Oak Project (Baryshnikov), Lines Contemporary Ballet, Ailey II, Pilobolus, Ballet Magnificat, Ballet Folklorico, S.F.
