The Duke University Dance Program focuses on dance as an integral part of the human experience and the moving body as a site of rigorous knowledge production. The program’s aim is to engage students in the profound potential of interdisciplinary dance practice and research in service to individuals, cultures, and societies at large.

The Master of Fine Arts in Dance: Embodied Interdisciplinary Praxis (MFAEIP) is a two-year, full-time terminal degree dedicated to practice-led research that centers dance as a transformative force in society. Faculty, guests, and admitted students share a commitment to historically specific, culturally and theoretically informed approaches to dance and performance across a wide range of communities and contexts. Across four semesters, students mobilize embodied practice as a means of engaging in wider conversations and issues. In so doing, MFAEIP students model the transformative potential of performance to make tangible contributions to society at large.
