| JOB SUMMARY: | The UW-Madison Dance Department is a leader and innovator in the field of dance. Our institution was the first in the nation to establish a dance degree program in higher education. It was here, on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in 1926, under the leadership of dance pioneer Margaret H’Doubler, that dance became a rigorous academic discipline, and the body became the route to scientific inquiry, self-discovery, creativity, and citizenship. Our department and its world class faculty and professional staff are committed to excellence through teaching and research, and we strive to impact the world within and outside of the university, through the Wisconsin Idea, with the aim to improve people’s lives through dance. In addition to our BFA and BS degree programs in dance, the department offers four certificates (Dance, Dance Studies, Dance/Movement Therapy, and Pilates), brings elective dance courses to hundreds of students each semester, and welcomes pre-collegiate students to campus for summer intensive study and dance festivals. We also produce several concerts and host internationally renowned guest artists each academic year.
