- Class Description:
- African Diasporic Movement 3 is an exploration of Afro-Brazilian dance. This course will develop students? physical preparedness and body awareness for Afro-Brazilian dance through concentrated warm-ups, and introduce students to the floor work, polyrhythmic movements, turns and jumps, which are characteristic of Afro-Brazilian dance. These exercises will build flexibility, strength, agility, and an understanding of how each section of the body works in conjunction with another. In addition, an emphasis will be placed on understanding the rhythms present in Afro-Brazilian dance, as well as developing concentration, focus and a spiritual presence while performing the movement. The course explores the movements of the Orixas (Orishas) introduced outside of the sacred space of Candomble. A harmonious relationship between the body and percussive sounds will allow students to note the constantly evolving dynamics as they relate to principles such as breath, relaxation and attack, undulation of the body, coordination and rhythm.
