The course will familiarize the student with the theory, terminology, history and technique of tap dancing with a focus on one particular style to be chosen from the five styles taught in the survey course Dance 142. The course includes footwork, progressions, patterns and movement combinations that will be developed into dances using one tap dance style to be determined by the instructor. The history of the art of tap dancing, significant dancers and choreographers and performances, both live and on tape will be examined and compared for their stylistic contributions to the specific form of tap dancing being studied each semester. The students will also study the place of tap dance in our historical, social and cultural background in American theater, film and dance. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area H
