Description:

In this course, students experience dance as cultural, spiritual and aesthetic expression, and develop a sense of body awareness and alignment. Through active participation students explore fundamental movement principles of ballet, modern, and world dance techniques. Participation in dance experiences during class time will develop the student's responsiveness to dance. No previous dance experience is required. Students are encouraged to wear comfortable athletic or dance attire to class. As a two-credit course featuring new repertoire every semester, students may repeat this course once for credit for a total of four credits (one course unit). Taking the course twice is equivalent to one course unit in Literary, Visual and Performing Arts.
