DANC 101 — Dance Appreciation
This course introduces students to the historical and contemporary cultural literacy of concert and social dance forms from the 19th to 21st centuries. We will investigate ways in which dance in Western Europe developed through cultural influences from the romantic ballet period in the 19th century to the American artistic compositions of today. Study will include concert dance forms (ballet, modern, jazz, and musical theatre) and numerous social and ballroom dances from 1800 to present day.
