Explores how and why dance styles, aesthetics, and values change over time, linking these shifts to broader historical, technological, political, and cultural movements.

Topics vary and may include experiential movement. Recommended: at least one quarter of dance study or equivalent; and either DANCE 150 or at least one dance studies course with substantial reading and writing components.
