DNC 375 - Advanced Topics in Dance Science

Course unit(s): 1
Prerequisite(s): DNC 275 Anatomy & Kinesiology for Dancers or permission of instructor.
Through this course students will explore and expand their understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and the physics of movement. Correct alignment, both static and active, will be a primary focus. Upon completion the students will be able to conduct a complex biomechanical and motor analysis of dynamic motion common in dance. Principles of exercise physiology and dance and sport psychology will be explored. Lab work will focus on developmental experiences, applying and reinforcing effective movement analysis, teaching, and coaching methods.
