DANC 369 Anatomy II 

This course provides a dynamic, integrated approach to the study of physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and their functional relationship to the movement of the human body.  Focus is given to advanced anatomical studies as well as the exploration of somatic practices directly linked to the intricacies of dance.  Students implement a professional level of kinesiological analysis of simple to complex dance sequences by exploring alignment, prime movers, open chain, and closed chain movements. Class discussions and written assignments enrich the curricula; the course culminates with a comprehensive research project.
