DANC 076B — Studio Workshop in Hip Hop II
This course is an advanced-beginning technique course that builds on the street dance skills introduced in Dance 076A and focuses on integrating movement patterns with theoretical explanations of weight, posture, rhythm, and interpretation of style. Warm-ups, locomotor sequences, and center floor combinations develop increasingly complex coordination, as well as stamina, and style elements related to hip hop dance. Lectures cover hip hop as a performing art influenced by Black, Caribbean, and Latino diasporas, and a tool for social, political, and cultural expression. In addition, students will learn the fundamental principles of physical fitness and their impact on life-long health and wellness. (CSU)
