![](/mime/media/39/6715/GEKA.png) Rationale for Knowledge of the Disciplines - Dance is the unspoken language of the human body common to all people in the global community. It existed as a means of communication before even the development of language. Ballet is the codification of western classical dance with its structure rooted deep in history and tradition and the forerunner of the other established dance forms. The study of ballet involves all the arts including music, theatrical production and visual elements. Students in DANC 100 will actively participate by dancing in a traditional classical ballet class. Through this participation and supplemental lectures, discussions, video viewings, students will learn how to critically view their own ballet perform aces and those of others: learn codified ballet vocabulary and how to embody that vocabulary kinesthetically; how to creatively and critically problem-solve with ballet movement: and the history of the art form.
