This course instructs students in modern/contemporary dance, using the Cuban Modern Dance Technique while working towards creating a Caribbean model. It also facilitates instruction in other dance techniques. Emphasis is placed on developing technical skill and movement quality as students develop an awareness of their abilities and limitations, as well as a basic understanding of how they may better prepare to undertake practical and theoretical studies in dance. Classes are structured to gradually intensify demands on joints and muscles, in order to strengthen, increase flexibility and improve co-ordination of body parts. The course also facilitates students’ development of movement techniques common to all dance styles.
