Introduction To Dance

This course will provide students with an introduction to the history, theory and principles of dance as a cultural and aesthetic form of expression. The class will provide students with fundamentals of movement while providing an opportunity to express themselves creatively through the use of improvisation, composition, and choreography. Creative results of these explorations will be shown as part of a public performance at the end of the semester.

Classical Ballet I

Fundamentals of ballet technique designed to acquaint students with the dance form's basic principles, through exercises at the barre, center work, and movement combinations. Students will learn to observe, analyze, and perform classical ballet movements and acquire fundamental understanding of vocabulary, theory, and aesthetics of the art form.

Modern Dance II

A continuation of Modern Dance I. Expands technique and theory through increasingly complex combinations and movement analysis, and introduces new technical vocabulary, style, and presentation.

Dynamic range of Musical Theatre influences ranging from the 19t century to present will be explored.

Dance Practicum

The study and participation of dance production and performance through the rehearsal process of a dance concert or dance performance. The dance practicum is designed to give the student practical experience for general skills necessary for a career in the dance field. May be repeated up to 8 credits.

Research Methods In Toxicology

The course provides students with 'hands-on' experience in research methods used to solve toxicological problems. Students will be under the direction of a GCT faculty member, who will supervise the student's efforts on a research project. The student will be trained not only in the 'hands-on' techniques but also in how to independently design and interpret research experiments. Students will prepare a final report on their research project, which will be designed to provide instruction and training in preparing 'publication-style' research reports.
