South Africans dance! We dance to establish identity, build community, and to foster collective healing. This qualitative case study investigates meanings and locations of social cohesion in a South African dance teacher education setting. African philosophy, particularly notions of ubuntu, served as a theoretical framework to underpin meanings of cohesion in this study, which investigated pre-service student teachers' experiences and perceptions of a particular dance education course in a culturally and politically diverse university classroom in post-apartheid South Africa. Open-ended questionnaires, reflective journals, and focus group interviews were employed to generate data. Findings indicate that this dance education course provided interactive spaces for social cohesion in a culturally and politically diverse (post-) conflict South African university classroom.
