Transfers ToCSUCSU GE Area EDescriptionThis course is designed for students with no previous modern dance experience. It will focus on basic modern dance techniques: alignment, articulations of the spine and extremities, floor exercises, movement vocabulary, creative exercises and explorations of space, time, energy and weight/gravity – in order to prepare the body as an instrument of expression. Modern dance is a barefoot dance style that began in the United States in the early 1930’s as a rebellion against ballet’s upright torso, ethereal lines and literal storytelling themes. This course will continue the modern dance tradition of exploring abstract, structured dance movement, incorporating artistic concepts and personal expression. This course may be taken one time. NOTE: This course is one of a family of courses in this subject matter. Enrollment may be limited due to State regulations. Please consult your academic counselor for clarification.Usually HeldTue Thu 11:10am–11:40am, Tue Thu 6:00pm–6:30pm, Tue Thu 8:55am–9:25am
