DANCE 151 - Ballet I
Credit Hours: 1 Credit Hour
Billable Contact Hours: 2
Prerequisites: RDG 090 and ENGL 090 or qualifying scores on accepted placement tests
Session Cycle: WI
The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the study of classical ballet through traditional ballet bar, center floor and traveling ballet exercises and combinations. Included in the class are basic alignment principles, ballet vocabulary and steps and beginning combinations of ballet technique. Music accompaniment will enhance and complement the types of movements inherent to ballet dance. Emphasis is on personal growth with each class and assignment being a new challenge. Proper attire, terminology and health and safety issues are discussed. Written and skills tests are part of this course. Due to the fact that ballet dance has aerobic components, a medical release may be required. This class may be repeated for credit twice (total 3 credits).
