Dance Tech Analysis: DAN-101-A
This course introduces Movement Fundamentals (MF) through theatrical, social, ritualized dance and movement practices. Students will investigate how MF prepares them for analyzing ritualized dance and movement practices and for teaching and performing various dance and movement forms (ballet, contemporary, jazz, hip-hop, yoga, pilates, swing, ballroom, martial arts, etc.). This course examines the performing body as primary text through performance (both live and recorded) and theoretical texts from various theatrical, social, ritualized dance and movement practices. No prerequisite.

Contact Improvisation II: DAN-230-A
Building on introductory practices of Contact Improvisation, students will develop their physical skills in both capacity and subtlety within the form. Students will improve listening and internal awareness for very fast dancing, patterning in and out of the floor, more innovation in lifting, and maintaining the point of contact coming out of lifts. Further study includes the craft and facilitation of scores for the practice and performance of Contact Improvisation. Prerequisite: Dan 130 or consent of instructor.
