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 training offered.
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 in at least two, and thereby earn 2 credits, in a given semester.

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 provides students with a strong
foundation in the Pilates method. Practiced regularly Pilates improves alignment,
balance, and control, opens the body to its full range of motion and ease, and
aids in preventing muscle and soft tissue injury. The technique emphasizes body
alignment and breath work, enabling the dancer, actor, or athlete to direct the
movement out from the physical center. Students will work towards precisely
executed, smooth, rhythmic movements, using a series of exercises that will
help them restore muscular balance, develop dynamic core strength and increase
flexibility. Mats and specialized equipment give variable resistance and
support for muscular action. Limited to
eight students. Dance majors and students who have taken Anatomy for the
Performer are given priority.
