DANC S25 - Ballroom Dance:Past to Present

Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

From 1875 through the turn of the twentieth century, social dancers in America rebelled against proper dance and the court dances of Northern Europe and Great Britain. This gave a new look to dance, introducing exotic, playful music and a new attitude about what social dance in America could be. In this course, students learn the movements and study the cultures and histories of dances that were inspired by this new music. From swing to today's dancesport, the course culminates with student performances based on dances studied during the Short Term. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. Normally offered every year. Staff.
