Dance

Great course for starting to compose dance and to create in a supportive environment. I learned a lot both from the teacher and the community of the class. Definitely an essential course as a Dance major, but also for people who dance and want to start choreographing.

This is honestly a great class if you want something chill, relaxing, and different from your usual academic courses. A lot of the class is focused on self-reflection and writing about your own thoughts and experiences, so it almost feels therapeutic at times. There is also movement and dancing with other students, but it is very low-pressure. Most people are just figuring things out as they go, so you do not need any dance experience or special skills. The class also includes meditation, body awareness, and exercises where you simply follow how your body wants to move. The professor is also really kind, welcoming, and accommodating. You can tell that she genuinely cares about the students and wants everyone to feel comfortable in the class. She creates a very supportive environment, which makes it much easier to participate without feeling judged or pressured. Overall, it is a very calm and enjoyable course. It feels much more like a space to relax, reflect, and be present than a stressful academic class. I would definitely recommend it if you want a lighter course that is still meaningful and interesting.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE CLASSES AT MIDD! I was initially a little nervous about taking this class because I had never taken a dance class before, but it ended up being such a fun and welcoming introduction to dance. The class consisted of readings, podcasts, discussions/written assignments, and different dance activities. Some of the activities could get a little repetitive, but I really enjoyed how interactive the class was. When the weather was nice, we would sometimes go to the Knoll or other places off campus, which made the class even more enjoyable. I would honestly recommend taking any class with Kari!
