Seeking to maximize each student's movement possibilities, class begins by establishing alignment and connection through the body, into the floor and out into space. We will practice moving our weight in and out of the floor and boldly through space. We will build trust in our ability to leave our center and return. With a focus on musicality and physicality, larger movement sequences utilize elements of momentum, gravity, sequencing through joints, speed, weight, rhythm and more to develop power, range and efficiency of movement. We will cultivate the joy of dancing with our whole selves and in community. Students will try new things, take risks and challenge their own expectations and experience with dancing.
Open to DANCE and BFA-DANCE majors only.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
