DANC 060. Dance Technique: Contemporary Modern III
Bethany Formica Bender uses her multi-company performance experience and eclectic skill base in a class designed to build up ideas and break down contemporary/modern dance technique. One need not be afraid to sweat, laugh, or fall over. This class is accessible and aerobic; humor and high energy are important. This advanced level contemporary dance course builds on skills developed in Modern I & II. Additional vocabulary and increased floor work including inversions will be introduced with a focus on building stamina, increasing technical proficiency, and beginning to work on performance quality. We will also be viewing a variety of contemporary dance artists to deepen and discuss our relationship with dance. If taken for academic credit, concert attendance and two short reflection papers are required.
Can't wait to share the room with you.
