Class Description:
Dance History 1 & 2 are basic survey courses that study the development of dance with a primary focus on the West. Beginning with examining notions of 'historiography' and what it means to bring the 'dancing body' within the norms generated by textually and linguistically based disciplines such as history, Dance History 1 goes on to study the different ways that dance seems to have evolved in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, India, and Greece. The first semester of the course then works through the development of dance through church and court in Europe, with occasional perspectives from other cultures, and ends with a focus on the beginnings of ballet in the French court of Louis the XIV.
