UNK's Dance Program offers students a broad practical and theoretical knowledge of dance. Come dance with us. Be moved.

At the University of Nebraska Kearney, dance ignites and informs students to push the edges of their kinesphere, preparing them for the demands of professional and productive careers onstage, in the classroom, and in the fine and performing arts. The Dance Program at UNK integrates physical practice, lecture and theory classes, in several disciplines and at all technical levels. Students beginning

their movement journey can experience introductory courses in Modern, Ballet, Jazz, and Tap, or fulfill aesthetic credits with Dance Appreciation—a course designed to inform, expand experiences, and challenge students with movement and dance technology projects. More focused students can take advantage of a comprehensive Dance Minor to refine technique, engage in choreographic inquiry through Dance Composition, and perform in new or repertory works by students, faculty, and riveting guest artists. This 24-credit minor enhances any major, and is open to all students at UNK, both inside and outside the fine and performing arts. UNK's Dance Program offers students a broad practical and theoretical knowledge of dance, both as a fine art and a humanity. All of this while developing a world view of dance as a performing art, contextualizing the student’s place in it. Dance transcends boundaries of society and culture by examining them through the common language we all share—the moving body.

So many aspects of this article ring true, not the least of which is Candace Feck’s continued contribution to the field, and the amazing joy Kendra Portier and Jenna Riegel bring into the room. 💜

While the phrase “my dancers” may not deliberately subjugate dancers, the notion of ownership over other bodies, their work and their ideas is linked to patriarchal traditions and the legacy of slavery. With that in mind, the linguistic habit, used mostly as a shorthand—or even a term of endea...

The original Isadora Duncan dancers ("The Isadorables") first performed at the Untermyer Gardens in Yonkers, New York, in 1923, and the tradition continued with a repeat performance in 1932. Almost a century after their debut, Duncan's choreography returned to the gardens last week when Lori Belilov...
