Writing About Dance<\/p>\n
Introduction
\nIn Wendy Oliver\u2019s chapter on Writing About Dance, she discusses the Feldman method for analyzing dance based on Edmund Feldman\u2019s discussion of how to critique visual art. In this assignment, you will select one dance from the February Dance concert and use Feldman\u2019s four-part method to write a two-paragraph critique of the dance. In the following weeks, you will be developing your skills in writing about and critiquing dance. This assignment is an opportunity for you to practice writing about dance, while also providing essential feedback on how to improve your ability to articulate your views on dance.
\nInstructions
