And step, and kick, and turn, and kick ... Humanities Institute
fellows, work-study assistants and staff enjoy an impromptu dance
class Nov. 7 led by Stephanie Jordan (left), who chairs the Department
of Dance Studies at Roehampton Institute, University of Surrey
at London. Jordan recently spent two weeks as a visiting fellow
at the institute. She came in connection with the University-wide
theme semester and celebration of the tercentenary of St. Petersburg,
and took part in the symposium, "From the Mariinsky to Manhattan:
George Balanchine and the Transformation of American Dance." Besides
having danced professionally, Jordan has transformed the field
of dance studies by bringing the history of dance to musicologists
around the world. (Photo by John Woodford, News Service) |
