    The warm-up in this intermediate level course sequence includes exercises to stretch and strengthen the legs, hips and spine. The center floorwork includes longer studies like the Figure 4 and Percussive Stroke Studies which require the dancers to execute long sequences of movements, counts and dynamics. The combinations of movements across the floor are more complicated musically and technically and challenge the dancers to learn movement quickly. The combinations include material just introduced as well as vocabulary learned in the other levels. The performance aspects of dance are emphasized. 2.000 Credit Hours 0.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Dance Department

    This intermediate-level course sequence continues to build strength with an awareness of the torso as the center and initiator of all movement. Spiral, contraction and release exercises become longer and more complex, using the legs more often. Opposition and weight shifts are emphasized, building a stronger movement vocabulary, increased dynamic range and more control. The weight of the body is further explored in primary falling combinations from sitting positions and the knees. Standing work in the center develops more stamina, balance, control, flexibility and expanded sense of extensions, plie series and shifts of weight. The centering of the body is heightened with falls to the floor from standing positions off center and pitch turns. Elevation in jumps is emphasized. Longer traveling combinations often use difficult rhythms, and contractions spiral with more complicated movement phrases that call for dramatic expressiveness, use of weight and musicality. 2.000 Credit Hours 0.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Dance Department

    This course sequence is designed to challenge and expand the dancers' perception of partnering possibilities. Along with dynamic and intricate movement phrases, the dancers practice rolling, falling, being upside down, following a physical point of contact, and supporting and giving weight to each other. These classes are based on the communication between two or more moving bodies that are in physical contact, and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion-gravity, momentum, inertia, function, etc. 1.000 Credit Hours 0.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Dance Department
