Institution:

Ursinus College

Subject:

Description:

Prof. Young This course celebrates jazz dance as a passionate, expressive and continuously evolving form. Based on the premise that jazz dance is fundamentally inspired by vernacular dance and music, the class explores movement sourced from a wide range of music including swing, blues, jazz, ragtime, rhythm and blues, soul and funk. The class will consist of a warm-up designed to develop strength, ease of movement, flexibility and musicality, and move into across-the-floor progressions culminating in longer danced combinations. Students will increase their technical skills as well as deepen their stylistic sophistication. Prerequisite: One of the following: DANC-100, DANC/ESS-200 or TD-210, 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.)
