DAN 324 - Hip Hop I, 1 credit hour

This introductory course will include warm-up, progressions and choreography. The warm-up will focus on strengthening, stamina, flexibility, finding control in isolated movements, and creating specific lines. Progressions will emphasize weight and directional changes, rhythmic precision, and hip hop grooves. Students will use the information from warm-up and progressions to build choreographed routines. We will explore related hip hop techniques such as locking, popping, breaking and freestyle.
