All are welcome. Dance Studies is an expressive inquiry. It is designed to integrate theoretical and practical exploration of human movement principles, expression and culture through the medium of dance. Academic credit is assigned to the Humanities Division. Flexibility in course study is permitted so that students' individual interests and needs are met, while at the same time a developmental and focused approach to inquiry is encouraged.
Students take a common core of dance courses.
In addition, each designs rationale and plans for a more in-depth exploration of one particular aspect of dance. Dance as an aesthetic of human kinetics is an exploration focused toward human movement of the greatest ease, power, beauty, and expressiveness. Performance options not only extend dance into different areas of the college community, they also generate student leadership and collaborative skills.
