    Description
    This course will build on steps learned in Dance 390 to introduce level II Contemporary dance technique. This integrated dance form finds its roots in Ballet, Jazz, and Modern dance utilizing classical steps paired with uniquely innovated dance movement to communicate social and emotion narratives. Group choreography as well as individualized phrases will be developed for performance. Students will perform warm up exercises, turns and leaps safely and precisely. Center and across the floor patterns will focus on increased control, strength and flexibility. Students will further develop a Contemporary movement vocabulary applying terminology appropriately to evaluate Contemporary dance as a movement theory and an art form in the 21st century. Students will be required to supply appropriate dance attire and dance shoes for rehearsal and performance, as well as attend a live performance which may incur a fee.
