COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:

1. Verbalize and demonstrate knowledge of basic and intermediate jazz

  dance terminology.

2. Perform intermediate jazz movement skills and combinations.

3. Demonstrate musicality (the ability to relate to music through dance

movement.)

4. Choreograph a jazz dance combination.

5. Analyze complex jazz dance movements.

Topics and Scope

I.      Intermediate Warm-up

       A.  Intermediate warm-up consists of body movements and

           stretching motions designed to increase blood flow to

           the muscles.

       B.  Isolations will be incorporated during this section of

           the class, as well as large muscle group strengthening.

II.     Intermediate Floor Stretch and Strengthening

       A.  Once the body temperature has been raised by the general

           warm-up, the body will be able to stretch more

           effectively.

       B.  Flexibility exercises will be performed concentrating

           primarily on the legs.

       C.  These stretches are intermingled with other floor work

           to strengthen the muscles of the body used by dances;

           i.e. the abdominals and gluteals.

III.        Intermediate Jazz Technique

       A.  Proper posture and alignment aid in the efficiency and

           safety of movement.

       B.  A sense of "center" is aspired toward balance and

           turning techniques.

       C.  The building of strength of specific jazz positions is

           also addressed, as well as maintaining the foundational

           technical skills brought to class from previous ballet

           training.

IV.     Intermediate Across the Floor

       A.  During this portion of the class, individual movements

           that will later be put into longer combinations of

           choreography are rehearsed and perfected.

       B.  Among other moves, the dancer can expect to practice leg

           extensions, elevations and turns.

       C.  This section of class is devoted to the linking of

           movements into sequences and the development of the

           mind-body relationship (neuromuscular coordination) and

           the continued development of skill and style.

V.      Intermediate Jazz Combinations

       A.  It is during this time that the dancer really gets to

           dance and use all the techniques he or she has been

           practicing.

       B.  The development of empathy for the accompaniment and the

           relationship to the choreography will be strongly

           emphasized.

       C.  Being able to adapt and pick up a style or movement

           combination is one of the major goals of participating

           in a jazz dance class.

       D.  The presentation of the choreography will be rehearsed

           to enable performance practice.
