Gonzaga Presents 'Dance as Cura Personalis with Julianne Hough' Feb. 12
Part of ‘Love Your Body Week’
SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga University’s theatre and dance program and School of Leadership Studies will present, “Dance as Cura Personalis with Julianne Hough,” an evening of dance and discussion with the actress, dancer, singer, producer, founder of KINRGY — a movement experience inspired by the elements — and Emmy Award-winning choreographer, at 7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 12. The virtual event is free and open to all; registration is required.
The presentation centers around the concept of “Cura Personalis,” a Latin phrase foundational to Jesuit education that means care for the whole person. Part of Gonzaga’s annual “Love Your Body Week,” the event will focus on bringing this concept to life through movement and self-compassion — exploring how to embrace dance elements in one’s own life.

As part of Love Your Body Week, body-positive activities are planned across campus.
