DANC 6260 - Leading Community Dance


This studio-based course provides opportunities for graduate students to synthesize and apply community dance theory and practice with undergraduates and community members. Graduate students in this course are both participants and facilitators as they identify potential community partners, and lead dance sessions with people of varying ages and abilities. Students discuss concerns and challenges with implementation of dance experiences and identify resources that support stewardship of community dance. Students have the opportunity for independent investigation of a question, challenge, or project related to their interests and investigations of how theory is connecting to the studio-based experience. A substantial portion of the final grade comes from this independent investigation and final presentation of the work.
