Student Handbook2012-13 Academic Year

"I praise the dance, for it frees peoplefrom the heaviness of matter andbinds the isolated to community.I praise the dance, which demands everything:health and a clear spirit and a buoyant soul.Dance is a transformation of space, of time, of people,who are in constant danger ofbecoming all brain, will or feeling.Dancing demands a whole person,one who is firmly anchored in the center of his life,who is not obsessed by lust for people and thingsand the demon of isolation in his own ego.Dancing demands a freed person,one who vibrates with the equipoise of all his power.I praise the dance.O man, learn to danceor else the angels in Heavenwill not know what to do with you."-St. Augustine of HippoAlonzo King LINES Ballet BFA Program at Dominican University of California 1

History of Dominican University (DU)Dominican University of California is an independent university of Catholic heritage located 12 miles north of theGolden Gate Bridge in Marin County, California. Founded in 1890 by the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael, Dominicanenjoys a century-long reputation for excellence in scholarship, research, and community outreach.The University offers more than 60 academic programs that reflect the diversity and creativity of the faculty andstudents.With more than 2,200 graduate and undergraduate students and a student to faculty ratio of 11:1, Dominican is able tosuccessfully blend the personal direction associated with smaller schools with the academic resources of a largeruniversity.2. History of Alonzo King LINES Ballet (ALKB)Alonzo King LINES Ballet of San Francisco is a celebrated contemporary ballet company that has been guided since1982 by its uniquely global artistic vision. Collaborating with noted composers, musicians, and visual artists, AlonzoKing creates works that draw on a diverse set of deeply rooted cultural traditions and imbue classical ballet with newexpressive potential. Alonzo King’s visionary choreography is renowned for its ability to connect audiences to aprofound sense of shared humanity—of vulnerability and tenderness, but also of furious abandon and exhilaratingfreedom.As the Company celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, Alonzo King has been recognized as a “San Francisco treasure,embodying the best of San Francisco, the creative excellence and diverse culture of this city,” by former San Franciscomayor Gavin Newsom. At the national level, Mr. King has received the US Artists Fellowship, the Bessie Award forChoreographer/ Creator, the NEA Choreographer’s Fellowship, the Irvine Dance Fellowship, five Isadora DuncanAwards, and two honorary doctorates. Internationally, Mr. King’s success in “moving ballet in a very 21st-centurydirection” has garnered him The Creativity Award from Jacob’s Pillow as well as commissions worldwide. In France, LeMonde hails him as a “legend” whose choreography of “distilled grace” is “a discovery absolutely worth making,” whileHaaretz of Israel praises his “abstract and brilliant dance, full of soul.”Alonzo King LINES Ballet has collaborated with saxophonist Pharoah Sanders; India's national treasure, tabla virtuosoZakir Hussain; Bernice Johnson Reagon, founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock; actor Danny Glover; Japanese classicalcomposer Somei Satoh; celebrated Polish composer Pavel Syzmanski; jazz composer Jason Moran; percussionist MickeyHart; and Nubian oud master Hamza El Din. One of the Company’s great successes was bringing sixteen musicians anddancers from the Lobaye Forest of Central African Republic—the BaAka—for the People of the Forest project. TheCompany has also received accolades for its collaborative project with the Shaolin monks, an unprecedented synthesisof Eastern and Western classical forms that intertwines martial arts and ballet. As the San Francisco Chronicle puts it,Alonzo King has “broken the mold of what ballet can be.”In addition to biannual home seasons, the Company also enjoys tremendous success abroad at venues such as theVenice Biennale, Monaco Dance Forum, the Maison de la Dance in Lyon, Montpellier Danse, the Edinburgh Festival, theSpoleto Festival, the Wolfsburg Festival, and the Holland Dance Festival. The extraordinary quality of the dancerscontinues to receive glowing reviews in the US and abroad: in the UK, the Guardian described the “extravagantly gifteddancers” who are at “the peak of their craft.” Seven Company dancers have received the coveted Princess GraceAward, including Laurel Keen (2006), Meredith Webster (2007), and Ashley Jackson (2010).Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA Program at Dominican University of California 4

The accomplishments of the performing company are matched by the quality and reach of its arts education programs.Alonzo King LINES Ballet continues its commitment to dance education and community involvement through theAlonzo King LINES Dance Center, established in 1989, now one of the largest dance facilities on the West Coastoffering over 80 open classes to adults and teenagers. In 2001 the LINES Ballet School was established in order todevelop the potential of young dancers through our year-round and summer programs. Alonzo King LINES Balletembarked on a partnership with the Dominican University of California in fall 2006, inaugurating the LINES/DominicanBFA program in dance. This is the only joint BFA program in the country to be led by an active, world-renownedmaster choreographer3.

CURRICULUMThe BFA in Dance combines the comprehensive liberal arts education of Dominican University of California with thetechnically rigorous and artistically expansive dance training of Alonzo King LINES Ballet. The re-invigoration and continueddevelopment of Western Classical Dance (ballet) is at the heart of LINES Ballet’s mission. Utilizing ballet as the foundation,Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA Program at Dominican University of California 7

the program will ask students to investigate dance from many different perspectives, discovering the common language ofthe human experience.In the art of dance, the dancer is charged with the act of becoming, moment-by-moment, the embodiment of living ideas.With its direct relationship to one of the foremost choreographers of our time, the program stands in a unique position,offering students access to the process and environment in which current thought in the art form is being shaped. Studentswill be challenged to discover and articulate, through both verbal and physical means, their own point of view as danceartists and human beings.“In LINES’ training philosophy, each individual’s interior facility is tapped, cajoled, nourished and broughtforth. By focusing on individual character, we are offering a key to knowledge and awareness that will beutilized whether or not the student chooses to pursue a performing career in dance.” -Alonzo KingThis approach to understanding the interior character of each human being, as expressed by Alonzo King, is in keeping withDominican’s ideals and the mission of liberal education.Of the many BFA in Dance programs nationwide, only a handful emphasizes ballet as their foundation. None of theseexpressly identify a contemporary approach within a ballet framework. In the professional dance world, companies areincreasingly demanding that dancers possess a wide range of skills and knowledge beyond ballet technique. Today’s balletdancers are being asked to improvise, to generate dance material and participate in the creative processes of dance makingto a greater degree than ever before. The LINES/Dominican BFA in Dance program aims to meet these challenges inpreparing students for the current professional dance world through a curriculum that combines intensive ballet trainingwith improvisation and composition studies. Of equal importance, the program offers the knowledge and insight of intensivestudy in an art discipline, which can enrich and inform one's life in profound ways, regardless of career path.In addition, the program offers a unique opportunity for the pre-professional student of dance not to put on hold theircollege career. The program is organized to allow dance students to combine their hopes for a professional dance careerwith the academic and social benefits of a collegiate experience.STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESThe student will:1. Demonstrate a critical understanding of dance as an expressive art that transcends style and form;2. Recognize and understand the vital importance of individual effort, application, and understanding in the study ofdance;3. Demonstrate accomplished dance technique married to expressive range;4. Express concepts and ideas in legible physical terms; and5. Employ the BFA in Dance as a platform to pursue various dance related career options.REQUIREMENTS OF THE MAJORDance course descriptions can be found in Dominican University’s Academic Catalog as well as athttp://www.dominican.edu/academics/ahss/undergraduate-programs-1/performingarts/assets/dance-course-descriptions.The coursework required for the BFA in Dance is as follows: Core Course Numbers Course Title UnitsDANC 1101/1102/2101/2102/3101/3102/4101/4102(3 units per semester, 8 semesters)Ballet Technique 24DANC 1201/1202/2201/2202/3201/3202/4201/4202(1.5 units per semester, 8 semesters)DANC 1301/1302/2301/2302/3301/3302/4301/4302(2 units per semester, 8 semesters)DANC 1401/1402/2401/2402/3401/3402/4401/4402(1.5 units per semester, 8 semesters)Modern Technique 12Workshops 16GYROKINESIS®, GYROTONIC® 12Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA Program at Dominican University of California 8

Credit balance refunds are processed weekly throughout the semester, upon verification of eligibility. Acheck is mailed by Business Services or the credit card used is credited back, unless you select HOLD on your AwardLetter. The HOLD allows a credit balance to be retained on your student account to be applied toward subsequentcharges.Because your eligibility for aid and any subsequent refund must be verified, you should be prepared at the start of thesemester to pay for any immediate living expenses, books, transportation, and other costs, irrespective of any expectedcredit balance.REFUND POLICYStudents who withdraw from the University must first notify the Registrar’s Office in writing.
