Dance in higher education

This monograph opens with an historical overview of dance in higher education from 1887-1991 and then focuses on issues for the 1990s. The publication is divided into five sections: (1) "Current Perspectives: Overviews of the Field" discusses what constitutes an appropriate dance education at the college level; (2) "Teacher Education" calls for program improvement, consistency among technical, conceptual and pedagogical knowledge, the need for a discipline-based approach to teaching dance, incorporation of African-American dance history into the curriculum, and integration among the arts in order to promote better understanding of dance competition; (3) "College/Adult Beginners" addresses strategies for studio classes based on principles of learning, introduces self-teaching into technique classes, describes the challenges in working with adult-beginner ballet students, and talks about an experience in which a university community became involved in dance; (4) "Teaching Choreography" takes an historical view of the dichotomy between process and craft; and (5) "Faculty Issues" focuses on the problems of tenure and promotion, presents a survey on dance administrators, and discusses mentoring among dance faculty. The document contains 18 papers. (LL)
