DANC 180 Introduction to Dance Studies

This course orients students to the field of dance as an academic discipline, profession and art form. To this end, this course arms students with information and processes of inquiry so as to facilitate their own decision making as they proceed in the department. Topics to be covered include: an introduction to dance as an art form, dance history, dance as a product of culture, and the relationship of dance technique to the overall field. Class sessions may be augmented by guest lectures led by a number of different Dance Department faculty, staff, students and alumni in an effort to bring new students fully into our learning community.
