Let’s face it. There are a lot of style names in dance. American cabaret can feel like a catch all for something that doesn’t perfectly match a style name. However, American cabaret is an encapsulation of a very specific are of dance, which is formative to Americans understanding of the dance.
In this course, we will do a week by week overview of the classic American cabaret set, from opening, to props, floor work and leaving. Expect a basic overview of each part of the classic set, including props and several combinations and variations. This allows us to learn set dynamics and musicality, which will culminate in discussing how this transitions to a modern set. Expect discussions on improvisation techniques, history and orientalism.
