Specific topics and lab work will include dynamic alignment and gait, breathing, hip rotation, cross training, injury prevention, Bartenieff Fundamentals, Nutritional Science, and application of physics principles to dance technique and motor skills. In addition, we will consistently be relating our discoveries to personal and empirical understanding of current dance training, uncovering ethical concerns in regards to how the course material relates to the physical and mental health of young dancers.
