DANC 3001 Dance and Spiritual Expression
This course demonstrates the power of dance to open human beings to knowledge and experience that they would not otherwise have. In case studies drawn from around the world, we see dancing bodies as instruments of devotion, and as vehicles for traveling through different realms of reality. We see moving bodies as catalysts for spiritual change, and as vessels for religious meaning. We see women and men finding in dance a medium for expressing and becoming their highest ideals. In a thimble, we will come to see dance as nothing less than a vital art – as the currency (literally, "condition of flowing") of life – precisely because of the role dancing has played in the evolution of human nature and culture.
