Connecting the Dots: How the strengths of an artist apply to the 21st century job search

Submitted by Kris Bain on
Dance's Senior Seminar

Graduates from the UW Dance department pursue careers in arts leadership, non-profits, teaching, medicine, movement therapy, and more. Since many students double or even triple major, Dance alumni enter the job market with a unique breadth of experience and a high level of self-awareness honed through years of coaching on personal reflection and giving and receiving feedback. Faculty also focus on cultivating creative problem solving, critical thinking, and a fearless willingness to try new things. Dance majors can then bring these attitudes to their job search, which gets a jump-start in the Dance 480 Senior Seminar.
