Dance Resource Center
The Dance Resources Center is located in Room 8, downstairs in the Gittings Building. The DRC houses a collection of books, magazines, and articles on dance and related topics. It is also a good place to study or relax if you need to get away. Dance graduate students can be issued a key to the DRC. The Dance Resources Center has acquired books, magazines, and articles through the generous contributions of several donors. Among these are the collections of Gertrude Shurr, Virginia Robinson, Rosamund Spicer, and Susan Bovre.
Categories in the main file include Anthropology and Art, Gender Issues, Physiological and Psychological Research in the Arts, and Rock and Roll: Historical Perspectives. The Expanded Education file contains publications by NASD, the NEA, and many articles dealing with dance in grades K - 12, as well as in college level programs.
The DRC also has back issues of some magazines, including Dance Magazine (1957 - 1991), Ballet News (1982 - 1986), some issues of Ballet Review, Dance Perspectives, and Kinesiology for Dance, and a few of the CORD publications. Copies of Master's Project Reports and Theses from previous UA grads are also located in the DRC. There are also copies of papers written by grads and undergraduate students in dance related classes such as Theory and Philosophy of Dance and Human Movement in the Arts.
