Dance MFA Application

The CU Boulder MFA Program in Dance is undergoing innovation. We are excited to use the upcoming year to reimagine CU’s MFA in Dance to be more meaningful in its conversation with today’s reality.��

To this end, we will not be admitting a new class for Fall 2026, as originally planned. We understand this may come as disappointing news for those who planned to apply. We did not make this decision lightly. We believe the positive impact of redesigning our MFA to be the best possible training program for 21st century dance professionals is ultimately worth taking a one-year hiatus from admitting new students.��

In Fall of 2026, we will begin accepting applications for our Fall 2027 cohort.�� We hope you will consider applying at that time.��

We look forward to creating work with you in the future.��

The �Թ�� of Colorado Boulder offers��a well-established, nationally recognized dance program that encourages the pursuit of one’s artistic voice, embodied scholarship, and pedagogical exploration. We are a contemporary dance program—one that values and provides study in a range of styles and fusion of forms that influence and reflect the multifaceted nature of concert dance and dance inside culture.

Our curriculum is designed to use dance and the body to challenge assumptions about practices, values, technology, sustainability and personal and global positionality. Our program scaffolds entrepreneurial approaches to artmaking based in personal initiative, curiosity, and versatility.

We support the vital cultivation of self-awareness alongside a nuanced appreciation of one’s positionality within the global conversation. Somatic studies serve��as the integrative tissue in our highly diverse and forward-thinking program.
