DANC 180 - Hip Hop Dance I - Beginning

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
Hip Hop is a form of dance that is both highly visible and highly contested in American culture. In this introductory dance class, students will find and refine their own physical voices through warm-ups, combinations, group work, and freestyle sessions. Classes are structured to help students build their physical endurance while also exploring the origins and cultural contexts of hip hop. Together we will interrogate what it means to participate in the culture and performance of hip hop dance, especially in a U.S. academic context. No previous experience in dance necessary.
This course is appropriate for new students.
