    Description
    This course provides students with the opportunity to learn various social dance forms. It is designed for students with no dance experience as well as experienced dance students seeking an introduction to social dance. Examples of dance forms that may be included are: Fox Trot, Waltz, Tango, Swing, Rumba, Cha Cha and Samba. The course will explore differences and similarities between styles and techniques while developing coordination and partnering skills. Study of the dance forms in their historical and cultural contexts and development of individual choreography will enhance the student’s knowledge of each form and encourage creativity. Attendance of dance productions for which students must purchase tickets (see smc.edu/dance) is required along with written assignments.
