VPD 254 - Modern Dance Technique

Three Credits
Fall Semester

Introduces fundamental movement principles and the basic elements of modern dance choreography. Through a structured dance class, students explore the connection between movement and breath, body alignment, rhythm, dynamics, space and motivation. Students can expect to raise the level of their technical ability, while keeping the perspective that technique serves expression and communication and that movement is a bridge between one’s inner life and the outside world. Video viewings and reading assignments will introduce important figures and trends in 20th-century modern dance.
