Current Course Description: Intermediate level of contemporary jazz dance styles. Includes an introduction to a ore advanced level of technique focusing on rhythm, syncopation and body isolations. Some emphasis will be placed on improvisatory jazz dance and compositional applications. Prerequisite: beginning jazz dance sequence or consent of instructor. |
|
New Course Description: An introduction to a more advanced level of technique focusing on rhythm, syncopation and body isolations. Various styles of jazz dance will be explored. 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. |
