Description:

This course is an introductory class that will focus on developing technical skills in modern dance. The student will be guided through classes that will develop rhythmic perception, spatial awareness, and expressive qualities that are necessary for contemporary dance performance. Students will pursue refinement of their ability to apply contemporary dance concepts within their unique physical body in the effort to cultivate an increasingly able technique and presentation. Moving from the inside out, the dancer will capitalize on the sensate experience of the body in motion. The course content is based on upon the philosophy that each and every unique body type has a natural aptitude for the application of contemporary movement principles. These elemental concepts move through the spectrum of contemporary movement vocabulary, as well as the etiquette and protocol of the modern dance classroom and performance. Two hours credit.
