Latino/a/x/e Dual Enrollment Experience Survey
Esteemed Colleagues,
My name is Linda Bermudez, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Southern California. I am conducting a research study to capture how Latino/a/x/e dual enrollment program alumni describe, perceive, and relate the role of their cultural wealth to dual enrollment and post-secondary experiences. The study also hopes to inform dual-enrollment program development that best addresses Latino/a/x/e college transition and outcome inequities. I am recruiting individuals who meet these criteria:
· Actively enrolled in an undergraduate program or recently graduated (no more than a year ago)
· Self-identify as Hispanic or Latino/a/x/e
· Completed at least 1 college course while attending a California high school
· Completed at least one semester of post-secondary coursework
· 18+ years old

Dance 005: PERFORMANCE/VOGUE STYLES
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Vogue, Voguing, Performance, or Presentation, is a dance form that comes out of the New York City underground Black, Latinx, & Indigenous House Ballroom Scene culture of drag, runway walking, fashion, physique, and realness. Since the mid-1980’s, vogue has spread throughout the United States, and internationally to Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Italy, Canada, Japan, France, Jamaica, Spain and Russia. Though its popularity and notoriety in popular culture ebbs and flows, it remains a treasured means of communication, empowerment, expression and unity for Queer and Transgender People of Color who steward the House Ballroom Scene’s ‘balls’ (pageantry competitions). This quarter, the course will focus on the techniques and creative arts of the Old Way Vogue, Vogue Femme, & Luscious Vogue. Vogue Femme being the most popular form of vogue, born in the 1990’s out of the Transgender Latinx Ballroom Scene children, who needed a dance style that was more feminine and less masculine than the earlier techniques of Vogue Old Way, or New Way Vogue. With Vogue Femme, we will explore the embodied knowledge kept in the techniques of vogue, to get a taste for the Trans*Latinidad deep in the kinesthesia and rhythms of the dance. With Luscious Vogue we expand the techniques from the runway and explore the range of movements from tight poses to expansive and experimental stage dance. By the review and werk of the FIVE ELEMENTS OF VOGUE, we will build our confidence and body strength, break a sweat, learn fabulous choreography, and create our own personal-expressive dance phrases to whip out whenever we feel a beat! We will have fun! We will get strong! And, we will be fabulous, darling!

SPECIFIC COURSE GOALS:
1. To learn the Voguing/Performance vocabulary and the fundamentals styles of the dance form.
2. To gain more understanding about the relationship between dance and culture: Queer and Gay
cultural history, Hip Hop, House Ballroom Scene(s), Drag Court Systems, Subcultural Life.
3. To understand and analyze more deeply the technique and symbolism involved behind each step
and vernacular phrases to gain an awareness of Ballroom protocol in both the composition and performance of dance.
4. To improve coordination, rhythmic skills, precision in movement execution and performance quality, and gain enough confident awareness to correct one’s technique as a mover.
5. To increase one’s personal and collaborative artistic growth while encompassing the importance of the techniques of voguing, and group-work/Housework as a culturally informed academic experience.
