This course will allow students to study topics in dance that are not offered in the standard dance curriculum. This course will be open to all students in the University. We expect interest in this course from a cross section of Arts and Sciences’ students; especially from students in the Department of Music and Dance. Note: previously dance students have had to register under the Music Special Topics course number. This proposal would create a Dance Special Projects course number.

Clarify the manner in which this course will differ).
