DANC 110 Ballet Technique for Non-Majors


In this course students will study the fundamental principles, practices and vocabulary common to ballet technique through a daily practice of warm-up exercises at the barre and movement combinations. The knowledge acquired at the barre is tested in the center through the adagio and allegro sections of the class. Adagio tests balance and fosters a lyrical quality. Allegro tests coordination, articulation and ballon. The daily practice develops strength, balance and dexterity with an emphasis on correct anatomical alignment. Students will be exposed to the basic historical and philosophical context for the emergence of Ballet and will supplement their movement studies with readings from applicable texts, attending performances and written responses.
