THTR 3323 Dance for Musicals II
Specific dress and footwear will be required. Students will expand on their knowledge of jazz, tap, modern/contemporary dance, ballroom, world dance and others. Influential choreographers' styles and characteristics of past and present will be analyzed and learned through the study of their repertoire. Such repertoire might include pieces from West Side Story, Fosse, Chicago, and Thoroughly Modern Mille, among others. Continued emphasis will be placed on the individual students' exploration of dance technique, physical conditioning, and artistic expression. Audition techniques will be emphasized. Each class will consist of a body warm-up, strength and flexibility training and choreographed combinations.
