Institution:

Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Dance

Description:

Explores the medium of modern dance. Through progressive warm-ups, traveling movement patterns, exposure to varied techniques, and center combinations, students physically experience how the body becomes an instrument of expression, consciousness, and a tool for self-development. This course empowers students to obtain a deeper relationship to self, build stronger mental clarity of vast concepts such as space, weight, and time, reveals the relationship between physics and anatomical principles, and explores powerhouse artists within the field. *Prior exposure to dance is required. Instructor approval will be given during the first week of classes to determine appropriate placement. Students may have completed DANC 115 or have previous non-Commonwealth University studio experience in ballet, modern or jazz dance techniques.
