About DaBY Contextual Studies

DaBY Contextual Studies is a lecture program for learning about the performing arts from a cross-sectional perspective. Students will learn a wide range of dance-related techniques and performing arts knowledge, and by thinking about these findings in a series of contexts, they will be able to apply them practically in their activities as professional dancers while maintaining a broad perspective.
In addition to DaBY’s professional staff with expertise in the performing arts, a variety of guest lecturers will be invited to present special programs.
