Dance is a movement-based art form. Students of dance and other performing arts often develop confidence, self-awareness, and self-discipline through their coursework and practice. Graduates of the topic might seek to become professional dancers, drama therapists, or teachers.

A bachelor's degree is given to students who fulfill the necessary requirements given by the college or university they are attending. The requirements include three to seven years of focus on a subject, typically referred to as a major or concentration.
