The course investigates integrated dance culture in the U.S. and internationally, tracing disability dance back to disability rights movements and emerging educational, recreational, and artistic opportunities for disabled populations. Integrated dance theory is developed by examining the models of disability apply to education, physical recreation and dance. Our perceptions of ‘normalized’ bodies then questions how a dancing body might look, i.e., towards inclusive, responsive, and ethical teaching and choreography for dancers of all abilities.
