The purpose of Dance 496: Interdisciplinary Seminar is to provide students with both a deeper understanding and expanded ways of considering dance -- as an independent art form, as action, and in relation to other forms.  This is a dance program capstone course with communication in the major designation.

 

The intent of the course is to foster intellectual inquiry and self-assessment that aids students' process of taking responsibility for their dance training and education, career choices and deepening personal and artistic development.

 

As in all dance program courses, the dance program mission statement, dance program learning outcomes, and the National Association of Schools of Dance standards provide the backbone for the course content.
