Dance
181: Introduction to Dance
Did you know that the waltz was considered shocking
and scandalous in its day? Do you wonder when and where jazz
dance originated? This class surveys dance in all of its traditional,
popular, and theatrical contexts and also explores how people
live out the statement, "dance is a universal urge without
a universal form." The course consists of three hours
of lecture, including viewing of dance films and videos. It's
an exciting exploration into the elements of dance: time,
space, and energy. The course requires attendance at two dance
concerts that are tied into the course lectures. Designed
for the non-major, this course requires absolutely no background
in dance. |
