Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Intermediate Modern dance will provide BHSEC students with the tools and movement skills to enter into a B.A. or B.F.A. program in dance post-graduation. This course is centered on building bodily strength, mobility, and expressivity. Students will engage in several different somatic practices to increase body awareness. This course will focus on improvisation, spatial awareness, timing, musicality, partnering, composition, and contact improvisation. Each class will build on developing the physical and emotional stamina necessary in the dance field and will allow students to learn and engage with repertory from an accomplished professional dancer/choreographer. All students are required to wear appropriate dance clothing during this course.
