DANC 285 Hip-Hop and Street Dance Technique II

This course focuses on intermediate-level foundational techniques of Hip-Hop dance and related street dance forms (e.g., breaking, locking, popping, and house) that have contributed significantly to the birth, growth and development of Hip-Hop culture and movement. Students develop proficiency in intermediate-level movement vocabulary (associated with the specific forms being taught), as well as core Hip-Hop techniques and concepts, including isolations, groove, dynamic range, footwork, freestyle and musicality. There is an emphasis on performance quality and artistry through set and improvised movement. Students also learn about and embody the history, ethos and sociocultural context of Hip-Hop via videos (and other resources), class discussion, and participating in Hip-Hop-centered cultural events.
