Through videotapes, lectures, readings and in-class discussions, the universal
human activity known as dancing is explored in this cross-cultural course which
looks at the myriad ways in which dance functions in societies. The histories,
theories, techniques and purposes of various theatrical, religious and social
dances from around the world are compared, contrasted and interrelated to reveal
the universal as well as the culture-specific nature of the dancing body and
its audiences. This is a requirement for dance majors and meets graduation requirement
for a multicultural and/or humanities course for the non-major.
