DANC 354 Dance and Cultural History
This introductory dance history course – designed for both Dance and non-Dance Majors – is a survey of dance practices from Greek antiquity through the 21st century. Students examine major developments in Western theatrical dance and the impact of Asian, African-American, and European dance on North American stage practices. The goal of this course is two-fold: (1) to understand how dance practices are bodily enactments of specific historical and cultural developments and (2) to investigate different approaches to choreography and writing of history.
