7 Faculty of Education Te Kura Toi Tangata >> Dance at the Dance is expressive human movement that communicates ideas, feelings and experiences. Dance is integral to almost every culture and is constantly evolving. Dance is an embodied way of knowing with knowledge and practices to be experienced, researched and communicated. Why study dance? Studying dance provides a context for embodied learning about ourselves, about how we relate to and communicate with others and about the world. Studying dance provides the opportunity to express our embodied knowledge and experience creatively, through choreography, performance, research and teaching. In particular, studying contemporary dance helps to develop self awareness, functional and safe movement practices, extend creativity, enhance competence and confidence and to widen understanding of dance as integral to culture and society. Strength, flexibility and fitness work is integrated with contemporary movement skills, release techniques, experiential anatomy, contact improvisation and yoga. In creating contemporary dance choreography, students may draw on their own cultural dance, popular hip-hop dance, gymnastic, acrobatic movement and historical dance techniques to express themes and stories relevant to them. Dance also provides a dynamic context for learning through movement, for relaxation, for creativity and for self-expression, that is distinct from other ways of learning at the. Who can study dance? Dance papers may compliment learning within any degree. Prior learning in any dance style is useful, but not necessary. Students enrolled in a teaching qualification will participate in modules or papers in dance education. Supervision of graduate research at Masters and PhD level is also available. Practical contemporary dance technique classes are offered twice a week to supplement learning in dance papers. These classes are open to all.

I learned amazing skills like how to choreograph, how to dance new styles and to perform. I gained knowledge about dance in different cultures as well as extending my own passion in jazz ballet. I am teaching students in NCEA dance at high school now. Anna Bourke (Dance Hillary Scholar ) Studying dance at Waikato University has taught me a lot about body awareness, various types of dance and choreographic practices, giving me tools to develop my own style of creative expression. Studying dance and theatre in my BA (Hons) has been extremely useful for my work in performing arts. Recently I ve worked with the Enviroschools performing arts Kura Māori Project and The Stage Challenge Foundation. Whetu Silver (Dance Hillary Scholar )
