Course Outcomes:

How Outcomes Will Be Met:
Students will learn the basics of contemporary dance
movement technique. Each class will begin with a set warm-up series that will
help improve strength, flexibility, balance and mobility. Students will also learn movement phrases
that emphasize tempo, timing, rhythm and weight shift. Class work will not only focus on the
physical execution of contemporary dance but also the dynamic range of how
movement is performed. Students will be
asked to view and review (1-2 pages) a live dance performance or a dance on
film (dvd, YouTube) per approval of instructor.
