Dance Criticism

Mindy tends to be spacey. She assigns massive blocks of reading and discusses one or two pages from them. Some of her lectures seem disjointed, and she brings in guest lecturers because she can, rather than because they are useful to the class (ie. ice skating). However, Mindy is very good at helping with writing. The one thing she really tries to help students with is getting them to write in a way that is accessible to an audience - sometimes difficult for dancers writing about dance. She also never debates the ideas you're writing about, she lets the students criticize however they want, as long as the criticism is written in a valid and effective way.
