This course is designed to provide students with a foundation for understanding the relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems of the body and, how they correlate in the creation of movement. The course format is designed to provide the student with a variety of learning experiences, including but not limited to: lectures, group discussions, presentations, exams, research paper and experiential learning exercises such as observations and/or interviews. Students are required to arrive on time and must be prepared to work in a participatory learning environment with their peers. Anatomical alignment will also be a focus for increasing movement potential, creating effective training methodologies and reducing injury. Specific attention will be placed on joint action(s), the muscle or muscle group(s) responsible for creating movement at joint(s) and/or the stabilization of joint(s). Planes of action in which movements occur, balances in which movement passes through, and the types of created muscular contraction(s) will also be addressed. Course Objectives (1) Develop a better understanding of your own body, your strengths, weaknesses/limitations (2) Demonstrate an understanding of the three categories in which dance kinesiology falls: structural analysis, biomechanical analysis and neuromuscular analysis, which include proper posture, anatomical alignment and healthy hip rotation for dance (3) Demonstrate an understanding of the major muscle groups of the body and how they create movement at the joints they cross. (4) Demonstrate an understanding of working injury free as a dancer and training in a healthy, physical manner.
