DANC 122 - Contemporary Dance History (3,0) 3 Credits
General Education Course: Humanities-Appreciation of the Arts This course serves as an art appreciation course and expands the choices for students who need to fill a Humanities/Art Appreciation General Education requirement. Contemporary Dance History will introduce the student to both a broad cross-section of 20th century modern dance and ballet through both description and analysis and current theories contextualizing the study of those dance practices. The course will enable students to develop an awareness of movement as an artistic medium and provides a frame of reference from which to view and appreciate dance and dance performances. Students will acquire a visual vocabulary of historical and contemporary dance styles through a variety of media including lectures, slides, videos, and by dancing themselves. Students will be required to view a live dance performance. Offered in the Spring Semester.
