The Dance department at Bellevue College offers courses in Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, and Tap Technique. The program is designed to engage beginners, progressing continuing students, and support advanced-level dancers. All classes may be taken for either Dance credit. Proficiency attained in these classes enables students to adapt to diverse choreographic styles and ultimately enhance their personal artistic exploration.
In addition to the dance technique courses, the program includes a new lecture/lab course DANCE 100 – Understanding Dance, and the resident dance company, BC/DC (Bellevue College Dance Company). Students interested in joining the dance ensemble, DANCE 201, can contact the Director, Kirsten Kinney, for more information.
All LEVEL I classes may be taken by students with no previous dance training, as well as students who are continuing.
LEVEL II classes include those who have completed the BC LEVEL I class.
Questions regarding placement should be addressed to:

If a class is full, students may waitlist for the desired class and attend on the first day.
A dance class is the perfect choice to de-stress, build confidence, become more flexible, and integrate mental and physical abilities.
