Dance

Went in completely blind and searching for an interesting PE credit, and came out with new friends and a new perspective and dance and nature as a whole. Despite being three times a week, every hour spent in this class was worth it. Readings are not too difficult and usually interesting, often relating to psychology, nature, and other relevant topics. Even if you don't consider yourself a dancer or an outdoorsy person, Karima creates such a comfortable environment to explore that, and with the right classmates, you might find yourself falling in love with practices you weren't accustomed to before. She is also just such a kind professor, I would recommend any class with her.

Took this course because I needed a 4th class and everyone told me to take a dance class because it would be fun and in the end, even if it was difficult, I would get an A. Well, now the time has come and my grade is no where near that... I went to almost every single class except when sick, turned in all assignments on time, did them well to my knowledge, and gave it my best effort. There was no clear rubric for what the grade would be and I think grades surprised many people in the class. I think the content of the class is valuable and she is a great dancer. I think the dance labs could have been a bit slower for beginner level dancers. Overall, if you love dance, dance well, and are liked by her, then maybe you would do well in the class. Take at your own risk, your GPA could end up affected...

One of my favorite courses so far. This course is really for everyone, whether a dancer or non-dancer, the lessons are created for anyone. It provides skills like listening, responding, leadership, following, complex unison, and more that can be applied in all areas of life. It was a great introduction to get a sense of what liberal arts means at Middlebury College.
