Dance 202 - Strength and Flexibility through Movement Intermediate

This course provides students with a practical and theoretical understanding of the relationship between strength, flexibility, and mobility of the body. Through experiential methods students learn how the connective tissues of the body function as an interconnected web which facilitates movement, alignment, coordination, and proprioception. We develop an individualized practice throughout the semester drawing from various movement systems and dance training methods. We examine the relationship between strength, flexibility, and agility as applied to dancing. This course supports students training in dance and other movement forms. Students learn anatomical connections within the musculo-skeletal system and apply them to movement practice. (E)
