DANC 4375 - Dance History III: Jazz History
Credits: 3
Examines the origins of jazz dance from its roots in African music and dance through the present. Chronologically follows the evolutionary blending of movement sources, largely Africanist and Eurocentric, with popular culture, including music, film, television, and media influences. Students develop an understanding of how socio-political and cultural contexts inform jazz dance in 20th and 21st century America and how race, gender, and the dynamics of power and privilege inform the genre. (Effective spring 2021)
