FRESHMEN ONLY - A BLOCK FRESHMAN ARTS EXPERIENCE (FAX) - FALL OR SPRING

Designed for any level dancer, students will gain an appreciation for the love of dance! Throughout the semester we will broaden our understanding of dance by studying multiple styles including jazz, contemporary, musical theatre, and hip-hop. The focus of the course will be on the development of a technical foundation, understanding rhythm and musicality, strength and flexibility, choreography retention, and most importantly, how to have FUN while moving your body! Class structure will include a warm-up designed around proper body alignment, across-the-floor movement, and choreography sequences focusing on applying proper technique and artistry. Students will have multiple opportunities to choreograph where we will explore ideas of self-expression through movement while also collaborating with peers.
