Students who require a greater proficiency before enrolling in DN 3211 or DN 3231, as determined by instructor, may be required to take DN 1111 or DN 1131. Students are advised to note prerequisites and to take courses in proper sequence. Dance minors may repeat desired dance technique courses for a maximum of 4 credits each, as space permits.
