Intensive technique studies are essential to a serious dance student’s training. Intending and current dance majors must register for four credits of dance technique each semester of their four years at Bard. Students are welcome to watch classes currently being offered to learn about the different modern dance styles/methods of teaching and the ballet for modern dancers.

 

DAN 104- Introduction to Dance

One credit each. Classes in modern dance and ballet intended for the beginner;  no previous dance experience necessary. Open to all students. New students with previous dance experience should speak with the dance professors before registration. Although each class earns one credit, students must enroll for at least two in a given semester.

Dance Composition / Dance Workshop in Performance and Production

Two credits. The Dance Program aims to prepare students, in as versatile a way as possible, to understand and practice the art of dance and performance. To this end, the Program presents four productions that are open to the Bard community and the public. Moderation and Senior Project work is prepared for and performed in these four productions. Dance Composition aims to introduce principles and theories about choreography in a studio setting.  Dance Workshop in Performance and Production creates and sustains our community of performers and collaborators, on stage and behind the scenes.

All members of the community are welcome to visit or participate in Dance Workshop, and may earn one credit by registering in a tutorial with Professor Churchill. Dance Composition is open to non-majors and second semester First-Year students with permission of the instructor.  Dance Composition/Dance Workshop in Performance and Production are required of all dance majors, and all students enrolled in Dance Composition must attend Dance Workshop. Sophomore intending dance majors register for  both sections of 218 to earn four credits; Juniors register for 318 to earn two credits.

This course will introduce students to a method that will restore muscular balance and efficiency in movement. Body Balancing Technique is taught on mats and also on specialized equipment created to give variable resistance and support for muscular action. The technique emphasizing body alignment and breath work enables the dancer to direct the movement out from the physical center. During the course of studies, the student will work towards precisely executed, smooth, rhythmic movements. The technique improves alignment, balance, and control,  and opens the body to its full range of motion and ease. Practiced regularly the technique aids in preventing muscle and soft tissue injury. Limited to eight students. Dance majors and students who have taken Anatomy for the Performer are given priority.
