This course is a mixture of lecture, discussion, and movement workshops. As a class we will explore movement from the early 1900’s to present.

The goal of this course is to introduce you to the history of dance from folk/vernacular dance to the concert stage. These explorations prepare students to select one or more art forms to study in greater depth the following year. Students are encouraged to explore these different forms of artistic expression, and in the process discover commonalities and variations. In this two-semester sequence, modular in nature, students experience a wide variety of art forms, including visual arts, theater, dance, and/or music.
