Our alumni are shaping the professional world of dance, and building successful careers in–and beyond–the arts.
Throughout Iowa, across the nation, and around the world, Iowa Dance graduates are making their mark. Many are having an important impact on 21st-century dance as performers, choreographers, teachers, artistic directors, and arts managers. Others are using the skills they learned in Iowa Dance--such as creative thinking and collaborative problem-solving--to develop fulfilling careers outside of the arts. But one thing is true of all our alumni: They will always be part of the Iowa Dance family.
