Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces)
Modern Dance 7-9

Current Course Description:
Introduction to the elements of an intermediate level of modern dance movement with emphasis on developing technique, expanding movement vocabulary, improvisational work, personal expression and performance. Prerequisite: Beginning Modern Dance sequence or consent of instructor.

New Course Description:
Continuation with development of modern dance style and technique, expanding movement vocabulary, improvisational work, personal expression and performance quality. Prerequisite: Placement by audition or consent of instructor. May be repeated for credit.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.):
The dance program is streamlining the naming and numbering system of the dance technique courses. We are removing the designations of beginning, intermediate and advanced levels to align with other university dance program practices. The multi-numbered course sections were originally created in order to allow students to repeat courses for credit. This is no longer necessary as courses may be repeated for credit as designated in the course catalog.
Students/Program affected:
These changes do not impact program offerings or requirements. It is a simplification of titles and numbers of courses.
