Alumni

Swarthmore Dance Department alumni have gone on to dance and choreograph professionally, start or direct companies, pursue graduate work in dance and many other subjects, teach in college and university settings, and work in arts administration. 

While many colleges and universities offer excellent technique classes, Swarthmore stands out because dancers here are able to develop their technique, creative vision, and understanding of dance studies simultaneously.
