| Course Title: Advanced Studies: 'Dance Styles: Street and Club' |
| Start Date: 01/23/2023 End Date: 05/08/2023 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2023 |
| Description: This house and hip-hop class will develop the student's dance while preserving the essence of the styles the student is learning. Students will be capable of using technique within the groove as it is the soul and the identity of the dancer. The groove which is often perceived as an aesthetic can also be an invitation to question its social meaning. The objective is to investigate the student's identity and to turn this very technical style into something more authentic. This method develops the coordination, the rhythm, the musicality, polyrhythm and a strong sense of body control. Elements of social justice will be discussed during the class. This course involves discussion, research and journal assignments. |
