    Dance Scholarship in Nigeria is fast experiencing a rapid turnaround for the better, particularly with the newly evolved umbrella Association of Dance Scholars and Practitioners of Nigeria (ADSPON) where scholars of dance meet to discuss a variety of issues. However the development of dance studies in Nigeria may not have been so fruitful without the constant and consistent trainings and practices of dance ill some Universities. These "training and practices" have taken different facets ill various schools. Consequently, this paper intends to examine the contributions of the University of Ilorin Department of the Performing Arts to dance studies in Nigeria. Through interview and review of existing documents, this paper intends to examine and document the history of dance studies in the university from inception till now and also make a forecast of the future.

    Effects of some of the emerging Dance Styles on the Nigerian Youths
    (Performing Arts Department, University of Ilorin, 2012) Olalusi, Kehinde Adedamola
    This essay examines the emerging Nigerian dance styles, i.E Yahoozee, Alanta, Suo, Etighi etc in relation to their practices among youths, as the problems and prospects embedded in the applications of these dances. Through the social cognitive theory as propounded by Miller and Dollard (1941), this paper evaluates these dances in its content and context. In this regard, our research methodology entails the non participatory observation method and interviews, while consultations from academic journals, books, magazines, internet etc contribute to giving credence to our submissions. It was discovered that the constant freedom and access the youth have on the environment and the society at large are critical to the influences of these dances on them. Also, that deep acquaintances with these styles eventually consolidate the urge of dwelling on them,possibly at the detriment of their academics and also against the desire of their parents. Owing to these amplifiable realities, We recommend that parents should ensure that their children receive the required education as well as follow up their enthusiasm for dance practices without hindering one another. Equally, concerned bodies should ensure that the youth practice these dance styles without negative connotations.

    Playing the medley game: dance training and practice in Nigeria
    (Performing Arts Department, University of Ilorin, 2014) Olalusi, Kehinde Adedamola
    Dance training and practice constitute a significant part of Arts and Education in Nigeria. Consequently, this study, through Jacqueline Smith-Artaud's midway theory, examines dance training and practice in Nigeria, with focus on the Performing Arts Department, University of Ilorin and Ijodee Dance Company, Lagos. It was observed that in the dance art, those who yearn for professionalism preferred the town to gown, owing to its practicability and experience in terms of performances. lt was also noted that fewer universities lay much emphasis on the dance aspect like University of Ilorin does. This is because of the multiple sections that other universities have other than the three represented in University of Ilorin. Consequently, students studying dance in these universities, particularly University of Ilorin find time to go to private owned dance companies for practices even with the consent of their lecturers. Similarly, while theory is a basis for practical in the University, den vation of styles and re-arrangements of existing cultural movements and steps have been the basis of practical forms in the private dance companies. It is, therefore, recommended that stern combination of xtensive training and practice be designed in the University, while also implementing a strong collaboration of both town and gown in the training and practicing of dance among students and enthusiasts.
