These one-credit topics are designed to give students a weekly study of a specific dance technique to augment their on-going training. Students registered for a topic in this course must have completed or be concurrently registered for a related two-credit technique class and are required to be at the high intermediate or advanced level in that technique. Dance faculty should be consulted concerning questions about level placement. The independent investigation section of this course requires permission of the department chair for registration and the mentorship of a member of the Dance faculty. As with regular technique courses, students may repeat any Study in Dance Technique and Performance course topic two times for credit. 1 credit per topic.: Argentine Tango is the sensual and elegant social dance of the city of Buenos Aires, which is experiencing a worldwide revival. Class includes the movements, the steps, the history and anecdotes about the culture of Tango. We cover traditional and modern forms. All dancers learn lead and follow, so you do not need a partner. Wear leather-soled shoes or bring socks. Enrollment limited.
