    Description
    Special Topics in Dance II (1) CSU Laboratory 3 hours. Prerequisite: Dance Specialties 491 with a grade of "C" or better. This course offers continued instruction in the historical and cultural origins of folk, ethnic, recreational, or other specialized dance genres. Transitional combina- tions of steps from the particular genre are utilized to broaden the students under- standing of specialized dance techniques, musical phrasing and rhythms utilized in that particular dance form. This low-intermediate course provides a greater foun- dation for further study in the particular genre of dance. Dance Studies (DANCEST) Title V changes effective Fall 2013 substantially restrict how many times students can take specific types of classes. Students enrolled in "active participation courses" in kinesiology, visual arts, or performing arts are limited to four (4) enrollments per "family." Failures and `W' grades count as enrollments. A family can contain multiple courses, but a student can only take four of them. LACCD courses in Art, Dance, Kinesiology, Music, and Theater are all affected. For courses in the Theater Arts & Dance department, families have been created as follows: DANCE FAMILY NAMES AND COURSE NUMBERS: Ballet Techniques DANCETQ 111-114, 434, 466 DANCEST 806, 807 Latin and Social Dance DANCETQ 440, 473 DNCESPC 441-444, 490 Dance Productions DANCEST 814, 815, 820, 821, 826 Hip Hop Techniques DNCESPC 171-174, 402 Jazz Techniques DANCETQ 121-124, 437, 468 Modern Techniques DANCETQ 141-144, 431 DANCEST 801-803 Special Projects in Dance DANCEST 185, 262, 285 DANCETQ 151, 152, 290, 536, 570-573 Tap Dance DANCETQ 446; DNCESPC 331-334 Yoga/Stress Management DANCETQ 101, 231-234, 710 Dance Choreography DANCEST 301, 302, 452 Dance Performance DANCEST 822, 823 Folk Dance Forms DNCESPC 491, 492
