Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course builds on the fundamental techniques of hip hop dance forms at an advanced level. Attention is placed on dynamic movement qualities, choreography execution, and complex musicality with an emphasis on syncopation, isolations, strength, control, coordination and performance. Improvisation or “freestyling” is emphasized to further develop the individual expression and style indigenous to the form. Critical analysis of hip hop choreography and current trends, along with hip hop dance’s cultural significance, history, and origins as an art form, are also emphasized. Attendance of dance productions for which students must purchase tickets (see smc.edu/dance) is required along with written assignments.Usually HeldMon Wed 10:15am–12:20pm
