DANC 040. Dance Technique: Modern I

This course introduces students to the Horton Technique which was designed with studies to stretch and strengthen different areas of the body. The basic warm up is taught: flat backs, primitive squat, descent and ascent, lateral stretches, release swings and deep lunges. Many of the beginning level studies focus on the Achilles tendon, abdominal muscles and hamstring muscles. Simple combinations are taught to introduce musicality and dynamics to the beginning dancer’s vocabulary.
