Dance 1B: Modern Dance & Choreography

Building off the foundation of Dance 1A, modern dance movements and form are presented.  The class will trace the history of 20^th century modern dance through the present using both the history and the movement of major choreographers such as Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, and Alvin Ailey.  With that history as their foundation, students will experience the choreographic process themselves.  Using various creative stimuli, the dancer/choreographers will create new dances both individually and in small groups.
