Dance Course Offered in Winter 2026  (1 unit)
Mondays and Wednesdays (3:05-4:45pm)

ADA 143 -  Introduction to CIrcus Arts  1.0 **
Circus has long had the power to incite marvel, to elicit gasps of wonder, to shout out its own magical place in our imagination, and to inspire both Wanderlust and belonging: it is, after all, an art that calls for us to run away with it. This course offers a close examination of some of this power. We will come to understand circus more fully as an art, with its own histories, forms, and practices, even as we look carefully and critically at its role as a cultural phenomenon across time and places.
. Open to all levels: CC:HUM, WAC, and JCAD *1 unit course

ADA-350- Choreography 1.0*
This course emphasizes the creation of a dance piece in collaboration with selected dancers, designers (costumes, props or projections), musicians or any interdisciplinary artists. Students must create a group choreography that will be innovative, express their own style, a specific theme or concept. Students will act as artistic directors, overseeing their creation and being in charge of their collaborators. Their choreography will be presented either in the Winter Dance Concert series or at the Steinmetz Symposium. A weekly technical dance class is required.

** Dance minors needing history to graduate in 2026 or 2027 will need to take this course.**

Dance Technique Practicums
Level 1: Appropriate for the beginner- intermediate level dance student. Students are strongly encouraged to enroll in a Level 1 practicum for subsequent terms to build the necessary skills required for progression within the dance form. Dance faculty will advise students when/if it would be appropriate to move to a Level 2 practicum.  Please note:  It is common for students to repeatedly enroll in a Level 1 practicum for multiple terms. Each term will provide new physical and artistic challenges for students. 

Level 2: Appropriate for the intermediate-advanced level dance student. As with Level 1, it is common for students to repeatedly enroll in a Level 2 practicum because dance training is cumulative and progressive. Each term will provide new physical and artistic challenges for students. 

*Dance Technique Practicums are 1/3 of a unit and do not count against your 3 course load per term. 

*Students pursuing the Dance Minor are encouraged to enroll in more than one dance practicum per term. 
As part of the pre-approval process, we will consider your preferences, but can not guarantee your top choice practicum.  Please choose the technique level that is most appropriate for you.
