🩰 Where Dance Meets Science! ✨

We’re excited to share that Professor Lauren Kearns has contributed an article to The Core by Balanced Body! At Elon, we value the intersection of artistry, science, and wellness—and how understanding the science behind movement can help dancers move more efficiently, build resilience, and support lifelong dance practice.

👏 We’re proud to see our faculty sharing their expertise and contributing to the ongoing conversation about dance science and dancer wellness!

đź’š Happy World Mental Health Day! đź’š

Dance can be a powerful tool for connection, expression, and well-being. Last Thursday, our Dance Science and Dance Performance & Choreography majors welcomed guest teacher Christina Motley (MA, LCMHC, BCDMT), a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Certified Dance/Movement Therapist.

Christina shared insights into dance/movement therapy as a career and guided our students through an engaging movement workshop. We are grateful for opportunities like these that help our students discover the many ways dance can make a meaningful impact! ✨

📽️ “We Are Here: Black Women at the Heart of Elon University”

Prof. Keshia Gee’s powerful documentary shines a light on the enduring impact of Black women at Elon University—their leadership, intellectual contributions, and cultural influence—and the ways their stories have helped shaped the institution despite often receiving limited acknowledgement or visibility.

Join us during Homecoming & Reunion Weekend for a special screening and panel discussion celebrating these stories and voices. This event is free and open to all!

Alexandra Joye Warren created, Delicate Territory: Part II-Duodecad for this production of Dancing in the Landscape. When asked why she chose her choreographic location, she said, ”I was drawn to the architecture and symmetry of the outdoor basketball court. The circles and the lines were interesting to play with and incorporate into the piece. It’s also been fun to navigate basketball games happening in the background during the rehearsal process.” This piece will be performed by Gena Craft, Ashley Dengate, Avery Fuhr, Carter Granson, Emily Grosso, Bella Jones, Drew Layman, Amanda Morris, Ruby Mueller, Savannah Rathert, Riley Slater, and Maddie Yates. Come see some site-specific dance!🌳
