Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper explores methods for bringing dance history directly into the studio. It shows how the movement components that have proven successful in introductory courses can be extended to in-depth studies of dance history with dancers who have formal training. Through the example of a research project on the early work of George Balanchine, it shows how kinesthetic learners can be introduced to the scholarly side of this art form in a way that shows them its relevance and gives them tools that they can use in their own careers as dancers and choreographers. Finally, it demonstrates how this method allows students the opportunity to explore history through movement in conjunction with archival material, photographs, books, papers and videos.
