DAN 333 - West African Diasporic Dance III: Hip Hop/Jazz/Tap (2 Cr.)


A high intermediate course for further study in applied West African diaspora dance technique. This course will focus on African rooted vernacular forms, including Hip Hop, Jazz and Tap. The course will center on the refinement of technical and performance skills, and the execution of complex movement phrase work. A key component of Hip Hop/Jazz/Tap III is exploring where these forms fit within the West African diaspora dance canon, while taking part in the critical analysis and critique of theatrical works by current and historical dance-makers who create in these movement vocabularies. Additionally, these works will be evaluated through the lenses of race, class, gender, sexualities and nationality. Repeatable up to three times for credit.  Prerequisite: successful matriculation from DAN 233 . Fall semester. Program faculty.
