DANC 121H - World Dance History-Honors

(3,0) 3 Credits
General Education Course: Humanities-Appreciation of the Arts, Global and Cultural Awareness
Prerequisite(s): GPA 3.5 or permission of the instructor.
World Dance History is an overview of dance history in a cultural and historical context, from pre-historic times to the early part of the 20th century, including the emergence of new dance forms through transmigration. Global in its perspective, this course covers theatrical, religious, folk and social forms of dance, the effects of culture on what and how we dance, and the corresponding influence of dance on its society. Emphasis will be on looking at the history and reasoning behind movement and approaching dance through a culturally sensitive lens. Students will explore dance through a variety of media including lectures, media, and readings. The course also enables students to develop an awareness of movement as an artistic medium and provides a frame of reference from which to view and appreciate dance and dance performances. Students will be required to attend a live dance performance.
