Introduction to Iconic Dance and Urban Movement
This course will take you through an analysis of dance trends and their absorption and cultivation in American culture, focusing on urban styles and their evolution in commercial and social settings. We will examine iconic dances as movement trends stemming from ordinary spaces in society, reflecting the socio-political ideology of the culture and show how they define the eras of their origins. Like barometers, sensationalized movements reflect the values, attitudes, and ideas of the people.
Through readings, visual assignments, and movement practice, you’ll hone your skills to decipher the coded language of dance in popular dancing styles. We’ll analyze various commercial dance cultural icons, skill sets, and political expressions through videos, learned steps, research papers and self-reflection. And you’ll develop a critical eye in movement analysis, which will be enhanced through physical practice of the ideas and topics discussed.
By highlighting notable directors, choreographers, icons, and unseen contributors who have illuminated dance within social spaces, we’ll introduce you to dance styles in a nonlinear, intertextual format. This course will acknowledge the ability of these iconic dances to transcend time through the use of technological advances of the day.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- demonstrate iconic dance movements
- identify and use jargon that illustrates iconic movement
- identify the ways in which urban culture creates sensationalized movement
- analyze and critique popular culture and iconic dance
- recognize cultural appropriation in urban dance styles
