This conceptual paper presents a decolonial critique of Eurocentric epistemic hegemony in South Africa and its impact on the curriculum.

Experientially, this article explores issues and problems vis-à-vis the teaching and learning of dance in Nigeria. The article finds that the relegation of dance education in Nigerian higher schools of learning is linked to many factors which include: lack of manpower, lack of infrastructure and knowledge of the numerous values of dance education…
