DR 351 Modern

Modern is geared toward the student with little to no previous modern dance training. The primary aim of this course is to encourage you to begin the guided exploration and development of an artistic and creative movement technique via the synthesis of your physical, cognitive and emotional capacities. Throughout this class, you will study principles, practices, and language common to a variety of modern dance styles. The material for this course is learned through your active participation in all class related activities. This modern dance technique class will consist of numerous movement experiences that increase skills of coordination and alignment while building strength, flexibility, and endurance. Students will also explore the creation of movement phrases through guided movement exercises.
