Institution:

Pennsylvania Western University

Subject:

Dance

Description:

Foundations of Dance Technique is designed to provide accessibility to the world of dance for all students, novice or pre-professional. As this course is intended for students with little/no dance training, the class will use lecture, discussion, and studio work to introduce ballet, jazz, and tap, their history, and their aesthetics. The lecture and discussion will help the student recognize and articulate key terminology and criteria for aesthetic judgment in this form of expression. The studio work, including barre exercises and center and traveling sequences, will be performed in small groups as well as individually in order to help the student develop creativity in expressing themselves and a kinesthetic awareness for self-evaluation.
