Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The Dance Techniques 1 module will provide students with a solid framework and understanding of how to apply their physical diagnostic appropriately and intelligently to the physical technical demands of dance training. Working in conjunction with Performance Skills 1 module at level 4, students will learn to address postural issues and muscular imbalances, transferring this knowledge gained through to applied technical practice in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, and Tap. This knowledge and ability to adapt and apply their individual physique is imperative and inherent across all levels of training at LIPA.
