Meredith departments propose dance minor
A proposal has been made
by the departments of
Physical Education, Music,
and Performing Arts to add a
dance minor to the Meredith
curriculum. Depending on the
reception of this proposal and
student reaction to several
new courses being offered in
dance, the new minor may
become effective by the
spring semester of 1981, ac
cording to dance instructor
Deborah Whelan.
The minor will emphasize
performance and
choreo^aphy and will require
22 credit hours for completion.
Requirements will include
a total of five credits of dance
technique in such areas as
ballet, modern dance, modern
jazz, and folk dance. Two
credits of technical Uieatre
aspects, such as set and
design, costume and make-up,
and publicity and box office,
will also be required. The
minor will also include one
credit of Improvisation and
Dance Composition, as well as
Dance History.
The student will be
required to spend three
semesters in the Dance
Performing Group to earn two
credits in a dance practicum
program, which would consist
of a “major contribution to a
major production in dance or
musical theatre,’’ according
to the proposal. Finally, the
student must complete six
elective hours chosen from
Acting I, Introduction to
Theatre, Eurhythmies, Music

The minor program will
make use of existing faculty in
the Music, Performing Arts,
and Physical Education
Departments, so there will be
little cost to the school in
terms of special faculty hired
specifically for the program.
According to Ellen
Flippin, a sophomore in the
Dance Performing Group,
“None of this would have been
possible without Debbie. She
has given more to Meredith
than just her job.”
Whelan was hired by the
college two years ago with the
intention of developing a
dance minor program.
Whelan received her bachelor
of science degree with a dance
concentration at East
Stroudsburg State College in
Pennsylvania. Her masters
degree in performing arts was
earned at American
University in Washington,
D.C.
She has studied with such
artists as Jose Limon, Murray
Louis, and Laura Dean, as
well as spending two summers
at the American Dance
Festival.
A great deal of the success
of the dance minor proposal
will hinge on student support
of certain dance courses being
offered next fall. Dance
History will be offered for
three credits. It is listed as
P.E. 942 and cross-listed as
Music 942 and will fulfill the
school requirement for a
humanities elective.
A second level Im
provisation and Dance
Composition, P.E. 255, will
also be offered. This course
emphasizes choreography and
composition techniques.
A course offering a
combination of ballet and
modern dance techniques,
listed as Ballet - Modern
modern Dance HI, P.E. 356,
will be offered as well. This
course will be directed toward
the intermediate and ad
vanced dancer.
A mistake was made in
the class schedule on the time
listing for Modem Dance I,
P.E. 153-1. It will be offered
from 9:30 until 11:00, rather
than from 9:30 until 10:00 as it
was listed.
S.G.A. formally presented the official Meredith mascot at their
April 18 meeting.
