Dance is the liberal arts foundation, a portal to every disciplinary perspective:

• Dance opens doors to understanding ourselves physically, expressively, and culturally, as individuals and as part of collectivities.
• Dance as an expression of history, culture, and action gives insights to the worlds of the social sciences.
• Precision and eloquence in verbal articulation of dance leads us to and through the humanities.
• Dance, a collaborative art of time and space, introduces us to other arts through sound, lighting, costumes, and sets.
• Understanding our bodies as biological, kinesiological entities responsive to physical forces, brings us to natural science investigations.
