Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Dance - Performance] From Seton Hill University

• Dance History I?

This course is an in-depth exploration of dance beginning at the dawn of time up to classical ballet of the 19th century through historical, cultural, political, and economic events. Topics also include significant works and contributions to the development of the field of dance.

• Dance Kinesiology?

An introduction to the field of dance science for dance majors. Emphasis is placed on biomechanics that relate to the movement of joints, dance technique, and injury prevention. This course covers the skeletal and muscular systems while addressing primary bones, muscles, alignment deviations, and mechanics with special consideration for dance.

• Dance Kinesiology Laboratory?

As with any science-based course, many of the topics discussed in the lecture course must be further explored using laboratory experiences. The purpose of the work is to supplement the students' lecture-based understanding with "hands on" experiments, focusing on functional anatomy concepts.
