Course Description

Summary

This beginning-level dance course requires no previous dance training and welcomes absolute beginners who would like to start a day with physical practice and body attunement. Students are introduced to some basic principles of dancing by learning various movement patterns, choreographed sequences and by engaging in improvisational and compositional movement practice. As early-morning is the most important and critical time of a day that helps determine how to spend and live that day, this course also offers a mindful yet vivid transition from a state of yin (asleep) to yan (awake).

Corequisites

Dance or Drama lab assignment if students sign up for 4 or more credits in designated dance courses.
