The art form of dance has been well represented on film through the decades, beginning in the silent film era. It has been either an integral part of the story line, or inserted for the benefit of the stars, of whom there many. Dance genres vary from tap, to tango, to ballet, to sweeping ballroom, and sheer athleticism. Dance in films has also benefited from the direction of outstanding choreographers, some of whom will be included in the series. Students will view the films on their own prior to class and discuss in class. Every member of the class should participate in the discussions.
