This course is an extension of DANS 200. Students are trained in the study of modern/contemporary dance techniques, with emphasis to be placed on developing technical skill and movement quality. The student will continue to develop an awareness of his/her assets and limitations, and basic understanding of how he/she may better prepare to undertake practical and theoretical studies in dance. Classes are structured to gradually intensify demands made upon joints and muscles in order to strengthen, increase flexibility, and improve co-ordination of body parts. The course will also facilitate students’ development of movement techniques common to all dance styles.
