Whether you’re trying out dance for the first time, trying to satisfy a General Education requirement, or seriously pursuing the art of dance, our 跳舞 Department offers you a wide variety of courses.

跳舞 Courses Offered

At PCC, you can learn and train in dance technique classes, choreography, improvisation, performance, as well as study dance history. Our curriculum offers the important courses you need to transfer into a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) 跳舞 Program, training for the pre-professional, and life-enrichment.

Students perform in a dance recital at Pasadena City College.

Some of our courses have prerequisites. If you have dance experience and feel that you meet the qualifications for a certain class, you may be able to have the pre-requisites cleared based on faculty recommendations. Before you will be allowed to enroll in upper-level classes, you will need to get prerequisite clearance first. 清除 prerequisite, please visit the division office.
