Course Description:

Afro Cuba Hip Hop - Music and Dance in the Black Atlantic: A course about the social history of music and dance forms from throughout the African Diaspora. Students learn specific styles from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil and the United States including Afro-Cuban liturgical dance, rumba, salsa, samba, and hip hop. Practice enriches theory, as students actually dance the music they study. By the end of the course students will become familiar with basic concepts in African Diaspora music and dance (e.g., call and response, improvisation, etc.), be able to identify and analyze trends therein and have developed a choreography based on the movements taught in class. Fulfills ULR outcomes in Lit and Pop Culture and Creative and Artistic Expression.
