Event Series

Dance 2023–24 Season

Dance happens all over Oberlin’s campus, as a part of everyday life, in site-specific work, and in faculty-choreographed productions and student-run performances.

Dance at Oberlin integrates academic learning with personal experience, leading students to become creative problem solvers and to connect abstract concepts to the physical reality of their bodies. Combining rigorous dance training with a broad liberal arts education, our program prepares students to dance not just in the studio, but in the world.
