Master of Arts in Dance - American Dance Studies

The focus of the Master of Arts (American Dance Studies) is on the critical study of dance through publicly engaged scholarship. Committed to scholarly and embodied research, the program investigates the significance of emergent and historical movement practices across stage, street, screen, and social dance forms. From the study of dance history and historiography to cultural criticism and dance ethnography, coursework emphasizes diverse approaches to the role of dance in cultures across the hemispheric Americas. The curriculum highlights FSU’s unique location in the American South and Florida panhandle—a nexus of African, European, First Nations, and Caribbean movement vocabularies. The program engages students with dance’s wide-ranging global contexts through investigations grounded in diaspora and transnationalism, foregrounding questions related to power, culture, identity, contemporaneity, sustainability, and social movements. American Dance Studies prepares students for careers or continued studies in diverse areas of the dance field. Whether toward a future PhD Degree in dance or professional work in related areas of dance administration, dance archival studies, arts library science, dramaturgy, or performance, both thesis and capstone tracks pursue a rigorous course of study and development of independent, creative research projects geared toward student interests. The MA in American Dance Studies requires a minimum of thirty-six semester hours of graduate-level course requirements, normally constituting a two-year course of study.
