DANCE 201 - Dance and Film

Lower Division

This course will study American Musicals on film, dance documentaries, and dances made for the camera. Students will investigate each genre and then understand the correlation between them. When we look at the big picture - a dance film - we will use the ‘Strand Model’ proposed by Choreological Studies as a tool to practice observational and basic analysis. In the course, students will also learn basic camera and editing skills to create their own dance videos.
