DANC-205 Intermediate Belly Dance
This course will enhance students' previous knowledge in basic belly dance as demonstrated in DANC/LFIT-105 Belly Dancing. This course focuses on training students to hone their skills of isolation, incorporate props and more advanced belly dance techniques, and foster beginning students' own choreography. Movement vocabulary will include isolations of head, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, belly, hips, and feet as well as techniques incorporating the entire body and traveling. Students are expected to cultivate an enriched understanding of an area of belly dance culture of their choice to further inform their exploration of this dance form. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of belly dance through choreographed and non-choreographed class performances.
