DANCE 1 & 2

This course is intended to develop the foundations of Modern Dance technique through learning about and applying the knowledge of body, energy, space, and time. The course will take students on a mind/body/spirit journey as they are introduced to multiple genres of dance. Dancing a variety of styles will foster the student’s love for dance while also facilitating their existing knowledge of Modern Dance. The course will cover improvisation, composition, aesthetic analysis, and learned choreography from a variety of sources. The course will also allow students to find their preferred movement “voice” as they create, problem solve, and improve technically.
