The Politics of Hip-Hop Dance

Hip-Hop is one of the most important cultural movements of the last half-century. But although hip-hop culture comprises a wide range of artistic practices—including music, dance, theater and graphic arts—its cultural politics are almost always analyzed through the lens of rap music. This seminar, by contrast, will explore the social and historical implications of hip-hop culture through its dance forms. Coursework will require cultural analysis to examine how people interpret meaning within and across cultures.
