DANC 160 - Modern Dance

Institution:

Ocean County College

Subject:

Description:

This study treats the body as a unity, combining the techniques of modern dance and ballet to train the torso and extremities simultaneously. The modern dance components consist of basic fl oor sequences proceeding from an understanding of the principles of contraction and release of abdominal and back muscles. Ballet barre exercises are included for the purpose of developing feet, legs and arms to enable the student to perform competently in space off the fl oor. Recommended for dance-oriented students who need to round out their dance education; for actors who seek an understanding of how their bodies can function most effectively in dramatic expression as well as in ordinary, but controlled, stage movement; and for students generally who are interested in self-improvement and assuring their physical well-being.
