Vassar Moodle

Beginning Modern Dance is targeted for students with little to no dance experience. This class will focus on core fundamentals of modern dance; specificity, musicality, spacial awareness, floor work, and a variety of movement qualities. Each class will begin with center exercises isolating different sections of the body in contrast with full body movements geared to prepare the dancer to move through the space. Floor work and standing technique will be incorporated throughout.

Students will be required to participate fully by engaging in class material and challenging oneself every class to be mindful and focused. The final grade will be based upon an evaluation of the student’s growth and participation in the class, as well as a mid-term and final that will occur during the regularly scheduled class time (dates below). Arriving on time and ready to dance at 9am is required!
