Iowa State University offers students of all majors a minor in dance. A dance minor is completed by taking a set of required and supportive courses.

Supportive courses consist of three additional credits selected from dance courses numbered 200 or above. Credit for both Dance 385 and 386 can not be applied toward a dance minor. Participation in Orchesis or Orchesis II is recommended for students interested in a dance minor.
