DANC 220 Ballet II
This course examines the kinesthetic principles and discipline of classical ballet. The instruction of movement sequences requires a basic foundation in both vocabulary and physical awareness. Focus is given to the comprehensive study of postural alignment, the refinement of French ballet terminology, both in its written and physical form, as well as introducing skills in writing self-evaluations. Students create and perform a final movement phrase that incorporates physical analysis, spatial awareness, movement patterning, musicality and the correct application of the terminology. The continued investigation 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.
