Abstract: Describing a typical dance studio class in a university
setting is a difficult task. There are diverse dance techniques, levels
and pedagogical styles that may be included under the umbrella of
“higher education dance.” In addition, dance education includes
classes in areas such as African Dance and other world dance
forms, social and folk dance, and so forth, which are quite different
from modern, or ballet technique classes. However, since modern
dance or ballet is a primary focus in so many college and university
dance programs, and since there are some commonalities that
characterize these types of dance education in the United States, I
will focus on these types of classes at the college level.
