THEA 200 - History and Culture of Black American Dance

3 Credits

(Fall, Spring)
This course will examine the impact of black dancing bodies on the field of dance through tracing the divergence from the African continent, via the Transatlantic Slave Trade, to current iterations of black dance in America. Students are encouraged to contemplate dance as a means of communication, a vital component to a functional society, a political device, and as a means to develop and grow community.
