DANC 350 - Dance History: Contemporary Global Dance

Second Semester. What happens to hip hop when it travels from the streets of New York City to the Parisian-Arab suburbs, or to disaffected youth in the ex-soviet bloc?  What is the role of belly-dancing in Yoruba ritual in Brazil?  What does contemporary African dance look like?  These are some of the questions we will ask as we trace a variety of contemporary dance forms from their place of origin across the globe.
