Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Dance

Description:

DANC 125 is an introduction to dance and movement techniques. It will focus on establishing a basic foundation in dance with emphasis on correct alignment, technique, and the unique stylistic components of a variety of dance genres. In this course, students will develop the ability to demonstrate and synthesize technical corrections, understand the elements of dance (space, time and energy), and perceive dance as an art form. This course may include dance genres such as Modern Dance, Jazz, Ballet, Improvisation, African-Based Dance, Social Dance, and dance-related practices such as Yoga and Pilates. In addition to the technical component of the course, students will examine the historic, cultural and social contexts in which these dance styles have been developed. DANC 125 is a blended course. The dance technique component takes place in the dance studio; the lecture/research/reading/writing component takes place online. This course may be repeated up to nine credits. Prerequisites and Notes: Students may be required to attend dance events and some may require a fee.
