DANC100: Dance History and Aesthetics
The twentieth century exploded with dance forms. Modern dance was born - with its emphasis on the expressive capacities of individuals. The dances of other cultures became increasingly available yet remained enticingly exotic. Rigorous physical practices created super human bodies. Social dancing went through wild changes born on the tides of musical revolution. This flowering of contemporary dance forms revealed our freedoms, our desires, our contacts with the exotic and a burning desire to be physically powerful. This unit will provide extensive theoretical and embodied knowledge of some of the major dance styles of the twentieth century. No dance experience is required.
