PED-243: Belly Dance Performance

This course is an intermediate level study of Middle Eastern dance, for the student who wishes to apply the techniques gained in the intermediate and beginning belly dance courses.

Bare bellies and performing in front of a group are not required. Final exam will consist of participating in the performance and reflecting on that experience, building on the concepts learned in the prerequisite courses and synthesizing the techniques practiced in this course. Course may be repeated for additional credit. Both PED 242 and PED 243 cannot be taken concurrently. Prerequisite: PED 242.
