Course Description
Dance for health is an activity-based course that surveys physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and social aspects of health which can be achieved through dance as a healthy lifestyle habit. Students will explore published research, participate in weekly social dance class and conduct a collaborative service learning project. Learning social dance integrates physical, mental, social and emotional wellness. Students will also investigate how spiritual wellness can be addressed through dance. Creating a social community environment where the student will teach others dances they have learned will deepen the concepts students have explored throughout the course. The collaborative nature of the project will further advance the social wellness aspect of the course.
