During this time students will have the opportunity to meet peers and faculty; become familiar with the Conservatory rules; and receive schedules outlining important information about the week ahead. {Back to top of FAQ} Dance Placements & Classes How do placement classes work and why do we do them? On your first day of Dance Conservatory you will take a placement class in ballet and modern dance. College dance faculty will observe to determine how to group dancers based on learning strengths and needs. Dancers are analyzed in a number of areas, including: alignment, core support, whole-body integration, application of rotation, strength, rhythmic acuity, phrase retention as well as other cognitive and social indicators. A dancer s skills in these areas, and not his/her age or the number of years of prior dance training, determine the placement into technical cohorts for the daily ballet and modern classes. For this reason it is possible for Dance Camp and Dance Conservatory dancers to be cross-enrolled in the technique classes. During the first two days of the ballet and modern classes, faculty make rounds to confirm correct class placement. At the end of the first week, student accelerations are determined for conservatory as well as returning camp dancers. In addition, each conservatory student is assigned to the case load of a counselor/graduate student who will meet with them individually to assess artistry goals and provide individual advisement and coaching. What if my Summer Conservatory class level is not the same as the level I take at my studio? Different schools have different criteria for their classes. Some schools base class composition on age cohorts or number of years of study and may accelerate students before they demonstrate skill sets that ensure healthy participation. At Mason Gross, our faculty value anatomically sound principles and analyze a number of skills (see above) to determine placements that ensure maximum growth, success and injury prevention. We design instruction built on learners prior knowledge and assess carefully so that students accelerate in pace with motor/physical development and safety standards. A student s class placement is made to help the student focus on a skill set that will lead to long-term success and is not a determination of the student as a good or bad dancer. Rutgers Summer Dance Conservatory FAQ Page 3
What is Morning Stretch, and do we have to do it? Morning stretch is a daily class aimed at preparing the body for the daily technique classes while also disseminating information about dancer health, wellbeing and safety. It includes a mixture of cardiovascular, stretch, and conditioning techniques gently paced for morning start-up and accompanied by Top 40 music. Both the conservatory and camp students participate in the morning stretch classes. What can I expect from daily Technique class? Students in both the conservatory and camp attend daily technique classes in ballet and modern, ninety minutes long each, designed with the overarching goal of building aptitudes and skills through consistency and exposure to new concepts and material. Classes are structured to enable students to meet and work closely with Rutgers dance faculty. All students can expect a caring environment where students are encouraged to appreciate mistakes and to meet challenges that stretch their range. What is the purpose of the Dance Workshops? Dance Workshops are designed to expand student s exposure to the field of dance through a variety of topics. Students collect resources from each workshop, including helpful hand-outs, brochures, charts or web information. Each summer and each week, a series of different workshops are offered, so that returning students continue to build their dance knowledge base. What is the Choreography Workshop and what is its purpose? The Choreography Workshop provides students with the opportunity to collaboratively create and perform their own dances for the showcase at the end of each week. During the workshop students will explore a particular choreographic device or structure and gain insight into the choreographer s compositional toolbox. What can conservatory students expect from the Master Classes? During the conservatory students will participate in several master classes. Master classes are designed specifically to expose students to areas of Mason Gross dance faculty and guest specialties. They are generally two hours in length and endeavor to embody specific concepts over the course of the two hours. Each year, new master classes are provided so that returning students have the opportunity to experience the range of faculty artistry and creative research. What type of Dance Concerts will students be exposed to? Throughout the two weeks of Dance Conservatory, students will have the opportunity to attend concerts at Mason Gross, showcasing both faculty and student talent.
