EAST MEETS WEST: KENT STATE DANCE IN THAILAND

East Meets West is a study away program for dance students that creates opportunities for artistic collaboration, engages diverse educational experiences, and builds global citizens for the 21st century. Each January, dance students spend 2 weeks in Thailand for an educational and performance exchange that provides opportunities for teachers and learners to share unique knowledge from their cultures, supports the development of new forms of diverse artistic expression, and promotes global understanding.
