Here is an addition explaining the World Dance Courses. They are
numbered in the 70's of each level. Aka, 170, 273, 378... just
look for the 7 in the middle, and it's a folk class.
Dance 170, 270, 370
The world dance technique courses are three courses, 170, 270, 370.
They each teach a lot of different dances from many countries, and get
increasingly difficult. They cover general styling techniques as well.
If you have a lot of dance experience, I would suggest skipping 170
altogether. You can pick up those dances at Rec.Nights. 370 gets very
intense, including such forms as Capoeira.
Dance 171, 271, 371
These are the clogging courses. You have to have a nice range of
clogging before you should consider skipping 171. The courses
include making your own choreographies, which is very fun. Just a
warning, though, the 371R course is very hard to get an A in.
Dance 172
Ah, yes, the dreaded Square Dance class... yes, it's required for the
minor. So quit whining. You may actually have fun!
Believe it or not, the ratio of the class is usually 5 Folk minors to
20 students who actually took square dancing for FUN! You can do
a lot to help out the instructor and make a good name for yourself on
teams.
Dance 173, 273, 373
The Ethnic Technique courses are specialized courses in specific world
dance forms. Currently BYU always offers 3 levels of Irish, and 3
levels of Polynesian. Then they rotate the following styles:
Ukranian, Hungarian, Chinese, and Spanish by semester. So when you are
registering, there will be a note on the page telling you which
sections of 173 are which styles.
Dance 376
This is the World Dance teaching methods class. It's required for
the Folk Minor, but hey, no harm letting the teachers know how
dedicated you are to Folk dancing, right? (Also required if you'd like
to teach a world dance class... they often have students teaching a
170, and that is way fun!)
Dance 378
Yes, this is the one you're concerned about, and heck, what this
website is concerned about. This is your Team class. The
sections include 9&10 WSC, 9&10RB, and 2RB.
Dance 477
Dance- A reflection of Culture- This is required for the Folk minor,
and while yes, being a huge amount of work, is also a really
fascinating class.
Dance 478
Ah yes, the mecca, the ultimate goal, PAC.
Dance 500:
Titled Workshop in Dance, this is a rare, amazing class that is only
offered once in a blue moon (or when Gary Larsen is around) They
called it the Step Class. You had to have at least up to third
level in tap, clogging, and Irish, and at least up to the second level
or equivalent in the others to take this class. They did the most
amazing dances in all styles, as well as Gary's Fab hybrid stuff.
Too bad he's in Idaho now... *snif*
