The Dance Studies minor at CSU Channel Islands centers around dance and movement as the embodied understanding of the human experience. Dance is where bodies–both individual and communal–find deeper connection to communities, social ideas, a complex global world, and human subjectivity. Throughout their journey at CI, regardless of ability or previous access, students will connect dance to heritage, history, and social structures, preparing them to be  mindful citizens and dance artists, as we strive to create a more equitable world in the twenty-first century.
