Hip Hop/Street Dance BFA 1

This course engages in the study of Hip Hop/Street
dance including but not limited to breaking,
social dances, popping, locking and house ranging
from the 1970s to the present within African
diasporic communities. Through understanding the
dances' cultural identities, innovators and
pioneers, students will then learn vocabulary,
foundation, anatomy and behavior characteristics.
Through movement practice, corresponding
assignments via documentaries, readings, music,
videos, and class discussions, students will
develop a well rounded perspective on the ever
evolving culture of Hip Hop/Street dance. As
students progress through the course, their solid
base will enable them to build a more developed,
experimental and stylistic aesthetic in their own
movement practice.
