DANC-191 World Dance
World Dance develops knowledge, skills and appreciation of world dance forms through presentation of fundamental techniques, music and culture. Specific dances are analyzed for their cultural traditions, sacred/ceremonial import and or/theatrical impact within its society. With emphasis on movement, vocabulary, rhythms and styles of each dance form, the cultural, sociological, economic, and geographical perspectives are also covered. The area of concentration varies to include as many cultures as possible. One or more, up to four, will be chosen for a full semester of study.
