The Office for the Arts (OFA) Dance Program's mission is to promote dance as a way of knowing, understanding, and inquiring, and as an integral part of culture. It aims to advance dance literacy; create transformative dance experiences; and cultivate citizen-artist leaders, in beloved community, for a more just and promising world. 

 Housed within the Harvard Dance Center at 66 Garden St, Cambridge, MA, the Dance Program offers non-credit community classes in a range of dancetraditions and movement styles taught by highly seasoned dance professionals, and which are free for Harvard students. It regularly hosts guest artists who lead workshops, talks, and conversations, and regularly partners with other departments, offices, and student organizations across campus.

 In collaboration with partners, the Dance Program also supports artist residencies, commissions, performances, and special events, and provides workshops and dialogues that aid in advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice (DEIJ).

 Additionally, the Dance Program offers mentorship, support, and residency opportunities for over 25 student-led dance groups.
