DANC 049E. Repertory/Ensemble: Ballet

Students in this course will be exposed to contemporary ballet, neo-classical ballet and classical ballet. Classical ballet technique will be interpreted in various ways with regards to musicality, line, weight sharing, dynamics and artistic expression. Students will utilize their classical training as a foundation for exploring nuances of phrasing, changes in balance, risk taking and collaborating with fellow dancers to see how far the movements can be stretched. The resulting work will be presented in the Spring Dance Concert. Additional optional performance opportunities may be offered.

If taking this course for 0.5 academic credit 1-2 short papers will be required.
