MURFREESBORO — The
only full bachelor of science degree in dance at any public university in
Tennessee will be the subject on the next “MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Meg Brooker, an assistant
professor of dance, will air from 9:30 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, May 2, and from 6 to
6:30 a.m. Sunday, May 7, on WMOT-FM Roots Radio 89.5 and www.wmot.org.
The Tennessee Board of Regents approved the new degree track
in one of its last official acts as MTSU’s governing body. Twenty-two eager
dancers auditioned to be included; 18 were accepted. Those who confirm will
begin classes in fall 2017.
“Students will study a combination of different levels of
technique classes, dance history and theory, theories around kinesiology, anatomy
and healthy training for the body, as well as choreography and improvisation,”
said Brooker. “One track will focus on performance and choreography, and the
other track will focus on pedagogy and practice.”
Brooker will accompany three other dance students to Russia
May 10-23 for a combination of research and recitals. They are slated to
perform at the People’s Friendship University of Russia in Moscow May 14 and
15.
