This course develops physical proficiency in the performance of complex dance materials, emphasizing the deepening of technical practices in Hip-Hop forms. Material may draw upon skills acquired in Hip-Hop I but with increasing demands and higher expectations for competent execution. Technical weaknesses are addressed as students’ understanding, range, and body control increase. Emphasis is on building the physical capacities of the body with awareness of alignment, developing rhythmic clarity and spatial intent, and learning skills of focus and concentration. Students must have completed 4 credits of Modern Technique II and 1 credit of Hip-Hop Dance Technique I prior to enrolling in this course.
