This course comprises several classes or sections, carrying one credit each, in modern dance and ballet for the beginner. No previous dance experience is required, and the courses are open to all students. (Students with prior dance experience should consult with the instructor before registration.) The course is indivisible; that is, all sections must be completed successfully in order to receive credit for the course. In the spring semester, students seeking to register for four classes (a total of four credits) are given preference over those registering for fewer classes. Students who intend to major in dance must register for four credits.
-
4.00 Credits
Intensive technique studies are an essential part of the training of a serious dance student. Prospective and current dance majors must take four credits in dance technique each semester during their four years at Bard. Interested students are welcome to observe classes in order to learn about the various styles and methods employed in teaching both modern dance and ballet for modern dancers. Studio courses are indivisible; that is, a student must pass all sections of a course in order to receive credit for the course. Studio courses are open to interested and experienced nonmajors with permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This four-credit course and Dance Workshop in Performance and Production are required for all dance majors and must be successfully completed before Moderation. Dance Composition I consists of two classes per week, each taught by a different instructor, and a workshop. Open to interested, experienced nonmajors with permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Familiarity with the structures and styles of ethnic music and dance is an essential part of a well-rounded understanding of performance forms. This course offers an opportunity to study Balkan, central Asian, Irish, North African, Native American, Andean, and other music and dance forms. Students participate physically throughmovement, vocalization, and themaking of music on their own instruments. Guest performers are featured, and independent projects in folklore and collaboration on creative works are encouraged.
-
4.00 Credits
An experiential survey that examines great American music and dance traditions. Topics include how mountain ballads joined with gospel music and blues to become bluegrass, how English miners' wooden-soled-shoe dances merged with Native American and African styles as Appalachian clogging, how Irish reels became hoedowns, how tap dancing was born, and how to recognize the basic difference between the song and dance styles of the Eastern Woodlands and Plains Native Americans. Protest songs from revolutionary times are followed through the great labor, civil rights, and women's movements and beyond. Students join their own singing, dancing, and playing to these traditional songs and dances.
