Description:

Prof. Young Designed to develop in the student a deep and sophisticated body awareness, this course interweaves contemporary ballet and modern dance techniques. The warm-up opens, extends and integrates the body by focusing on alignment, breath and movement efficiency. Students will build strength, flexibility and coordination by beginning each class with floor work, moving next to the barre, and culminating with danced combinations in the center that combine the line and shape of ballet with the momentum, falling and flying of contemporary modern dance. Prerequisite: DANC/ESS-200 or permission of the instructor. Students may take this course up to six times for credit. Four hours per week. Two semester hours. (A; may be used to partially fill requirement.)
