DAN 36000 Dance Kinesiology

The purpose of this course is to facilitate the exploration of dance kinesiology through investigation of anatomical and biomechanical principles used to optimize performance. Lessons will be constructed to enhance the embodiment of scientific information (fact and theory) in order to better understand the dancing body, reduce injury, expel myths, and enhance performance. With opportunities to increase efficiency of movement, self-analyze movement tendencies, and study choreography, students will gain practical information in which to continue exploring.
