Program Recognition
•Bullet: Certificate of Achievement, Introduction to Commercial Dance - Level I Series (Program Code SAC.DNCD1.CA), a 14-unit certificate designed to be completed in one semester as the entry point into SAC's Commercial Dance pathway
Training
•Bullet: The 10-unit core is first-level technique across six genres: Commercial Dance I, Musical Theatre Dance Techniques I, Ballet I, Modern Dance I, Jazz Dance I, and Hip-Hop Dance I, plus a first course in Dance Production or Repertory
•Bullet: Learning outcomes target foundational technique and building commercial dance terminology and practices aligned with industry standards — groundwork rather than performance-ready repertory
•Bullet: Elective units can go toward Dance Laboratory, Pilates Mat I, Conditioning for Dance, Caribbean and Latin Dance Styles, or Salsa Dance
Degree Flexibility
•Bullet: The department writes this series as a deliberate stepping stone: finishing Level I is meant to lead directly into the Level II Series, and from there into the full Commercial Dance certificate
