A one-credit course intended for First
Year student dancers (all levels of experience) who are interested in
becoming dance majors. Over one hundred years old, the phenomenon modern
dance is complex, sometimes controversial, and
multi-faceted. Students will study the generating seeds of and the
regenerating influences in this art form. Through investigations into dance
improvisation and experiential anatomy, we will consider the structure of
the moving body, its movement potential and its wide range of physical
expression. Further, we will address the history of modern dance as well as the
current status of the art, both here at Bard and in the larger dance
world. Attendance at Dance Workshop is required. Class size: 25
Intermediate and Advanced Dance Technique:
One credit each
unless otherwise stated. Intensive technique studies are essential to a
serious dance students training. Intending and current dance majors must
register for two credits of dance technique each semester. Also open to non-majors with experience,
inclination, and permission of the instructor.

2 credits This course is
developed to impart the values and movement aesthetic of the Bill T.
Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company. Class meets four times a week and includes a
rotating roster of teachers. This course aims to deeply develop technical
ability and artistry within the dance-artist; expand the dancers ability to
move with strength and good alignment; and cultivate a consistent,
self-motivated work ethic. Students must
be disciplined and interested in being challenged. Coursework outside the class
is required and will include participation in online forums and occasional
journals. This course also requires attendance at one New York City-based
performance (paid for by the student) and participation in Bard Dance Day. Prerequisite: Open to moderated sophomores, juniors, and
seniors. Class size: 25
