Dance

The Dance Department offers artists rigorous training, freedom to experiment, and the space to create. Students develop healthy and sustainable practices necessary for working dance artists, with emphasis on technique, collaboration, choreography, and performance.

Cornish Dance places equal emphasis on physical mastery and creative expression. Student will spend an average of 6 to 8 hours each day in the studio, with a minimum of 13 hours of technique classes per week.

With its rich history, Seattle is a perfect city for an art school. Cornish is surrounded by dozens of theatres, museums, music venues, and galleries, as well as design firms, production companies, and creative agencies.

With iconic Seattle landmarks, vast forests, mountains, and bodies of water as our backdrop, there is no end for inspiration and exploration.

The Cornish of today is a lab for creativity and transformation, where talented students are empowered to become artists, citizens, and innovators.
