Designed to inspire, develop and enhance creative and critical moving and thinking, the Dance program balances physical and intellectual learning. Students in Canada’s largest and most comprehensive dance program graduate as innovative, thoughtful and articulate dance professionals who are ready to be engaged leaders in diverse communities.

  • Students have the opportunity not only to perform and create dance pieces but also to produce and manage many aspects of public performances and performance-based events. 
  • Experience many forms of dance. Students learn about the rich history and traditions of dance from across the globe and present-day global perspectives.

Program Overview 

The Dance program offers opportunities for studio work with options in urban, contemporary/ballet and world dance forms. Students develop skills in movement observation, production and performance. Understanding choreographic elements, principles, semantics and embodied storytelling informs the blended curriculum of AMPD’s Dance program.  

For students interested in a teaching career, York University Faculty of Education offers a concurrent education program where students can earn their Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in conjunction with a Bachelor of Education (BEd). 

Teacher Training Program 

In addition to the program, students can apply to the Teacher Training Program offered through Canada's National Ballet School. In this program, students will split five years of study between both intuitions, earning an Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Dance from York University and a diploma from the National Ballet School.
