The intent of this minor is to introduce students to various dance forms from the southwest and elsewhere, as well as courses in cultural studies. We hope to promote the understanding that dance is a way of experiencing and comprehending other cultures. It is our belief that movement knowledge is a kind of cultural knowledge that offers the practitioner of a dance form ways to become familiar with the people who created the dance style. Sometimes the dances are driven by religious beliefs that have assimilated into the daily lives of individuals. Social dances, as well, help us to understand relationships in the community. They enhance our familiarity with gender roles and age roles. More than anything we think that peoples of the world have more in common than their differences, and we hope that initiating this World Dance minor will encourage thinking in that direction.
