DANC 135 - Jazz Styles for Non-Majors
This course provides students with the study of jazz dance technique and history for the beginner to intermediate dancer. Classes will incorporate movement experiences, discussion, improvisation, composition, and dance viewing to acquaint students with a range of jazz dance styles within a cultural and historical context. Musicality, movement dynamics, personal and period style, as well as the scientific and anatomical principles of dance technique will be discussed and emphasized. Students will be asked to investigate and explore their own mental, physical (behaviors, attitudes and principles that impact health and wellness), and emotional nature in relation to dance and their dancing, so as to inform and expand their capabilities as a dancer and artist. Emphasis will be placed on the student expressing themselves fully through movement. Exercises will require students to participate in activities that demonstrate the importance of integrating physical activity into one’s lifestyle. (Same as PHED 135)
