Dance I
Fundamentals of Art Literacy
Students explore the art of dance through improvisation and exposure to master works and diverse cultural dance forms. They will use critical analysis and appropriate dance treminology to identify the elements of dance and determine the impact these elements have on the communication of ideas, style and meaning. Students will develop an understanding of dance as a performing art by creating and performing dance, and by demonstrating proper audience and performance etiquette, while viewing professional dance and/or performances by peers. Students will also explore how production technologies may impact dance performance, both live and recorded.
Dance I
This is a one credit course at the proficient dance level. Novice students progress to a proficient level through a rigorous understanding of the elements of dance. Students create and perform while exploring movement through improvisation and choreographic devices, and develop technical dance skills throughout correct alignment, nutrition, and injury prevention. They obtain an introductory ability to analyze movement for artistic intent, using a knowledge of dance and production elements, genres and styles, cultural context, and evaluative criteria.

Dance II
This is a one credit course at the accomplished dance level. Proficient students progress to an accomplished level as they explore and analyze choreographic devices through improvisation and solving movement problems. They develop strategies to document, gain feedback, review, and revise choreography to obtain a specific artistic intent. Students develop kinesthetic awareness of the elements of dance and relationship to codified technique and genre specific terminology and are able to evaluate choreography that is related to content learned in other subject areas.
