Abstract	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 to a developing country like Nigeria. The article concludes that there should be a Technical Core/Exchange Training for Nigerian universities and colleges for dance teachers with resourceful and integrated teaching and learning. In the same vein, course contents for Theater Arts Departments and other allied departments in universities and other tertiary institutions ought to facilitate a dance curriculum that will equip students with knowledge and skills of dance and choreography using a dance-centered methodology.
