DAC 532LEC - Kines/Anatomy for Dancers

This course examines Anatomy and Kinesiology as it specifically applies to the needs of dancers. Special attention is placed on experiential learning, practical application to technique class and injury prevention. Students are expected to develop the ability to assess anatomical strengths, weaknesses and differences in themselves and others, to apply this knowledge to their dancing, and to adapt their dance technique to the constraints of their unique structural and muscular systems. A comprehensive research project is required.
