DANCE 250 - Anatomy for the Performer

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

A study of primary bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles relevant to dancing; the physiology of breathing; and the body as a complex physical system. Students learn ways to prevent injury and how to develop a full range of expression with safety and pleasure. Kinetic awareness techniques are taught that bridge the gap between intellectual understanding of anatomical information and actual experience of the body in movement. This helps to relieve chronic tension, improve flexibility, and deepen the bodymind connection.
