    Description
    This course builds on the technique covered in DANCE 312, 320, and 330. It introduces strategies for achieving improvisation without self- auditing and utilizes concepts for initiating the impulse to move in any dance style. Dancers work through menus and pre-planned improvisational springboards towards the complete freedom of dancing in a way that is not preconceived. Confidence is developed through repetition, encouragement, facing the emotional risk, and finding a sense of joy by dancing in the moment. This course is designed for students with a background in dance. Field trips may be required.
