These courses continue to focus on technique, improvisation, and choreography. Students study dance history, learn to describe, analyze, and critique dance works from different cultures and times. Dance research focuses on how dance reflects the culture and time period in which they originate. Students will study 20th Century dance by exploring traditional approaches to Choreography and interdisciplinary dance works using media technology. Students are becoming dance artists: performers and choreographers. They will create solo and group choreographic works that include costuming, production, and lighting. Teachers will assist students with audition videos, as needed for application to dance schools or departments.
