Toward mind/body unity: Seeking the deeper promise of dance education

Abstract

dc:description

Culture is an intricate web of assumptions and practices that profoundly influence the meanings that humans give to their experience. Through sheer repetition, systems of belief may begin to pass as fact or truth, thus blinding individuals to the arbitrary or prejudicial nature of dominant discourses. This is an issue in the current practice of Western dance forms.
