Reviews of professor Daniel Bodiford

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Bodiford is a great professor and allows for us to dive deeply into the mechanics of dance. Although his papers are graded a bit tough, I still highly recommend his fun class!

He puts emphasis on modern dance-type techniques like reaching through the floor and being aware of your limbs; helpful but felt basic at times. It did change my mindset, but I wish we had done more jazz choreography and history of jazz in the class. He's also a hands-on instructor, prefers to physically demonstrate rather than just talk.

This class was my first exposure to modern dance, and, while it's a good class and I learned a lot, we didn't dance too much. Besides the daily warm-ups and across the floor, we only did improv/combos/composition sometimes. He's a meticulous grader for the two writing assignments but put in the effort, and you'll be fine. Gives good feedback

I wanted to take a dance class for fun and this teacher made this experience absolutely TERRIBLE. To me, this teacher is completely weird and his choreography is bad. Doesn't take in any feedback from the students. For dance class, you do get a lot of papers from him. He is more an English professor than a dance professor.
