DANC 145 Ballet I
This course examines elementary dance principles by studying the specific discipline of classical ballet. Instruction of simple movement sequences is strategically introduced to challenge and increase students’ knowledge of form and musical phrasing. Focus is given to the study of postural alignment and French ballet terminology, both in its written and physical form. The introduction of social and historical aspects of the discipline is incorporated to inform and enrich the physical study of ballet. This course may be repeated up to 12 credits unless otherwise noted. Additional lab fee applies.
