I loved this class! Very enteraining and he loves dance. However, his tests are difficult. Study hard and look over his past exams on eres. They will help a lot.

This professor is definitely entertaining, but don't expect to breeze through this class. You should go to all the lectures (which can drag on sometimes), but you don't need to buy the books. Also for the tests make sure to study his past exams - and study well! All in all though I enjoyed this class and laughed a lot from his performances.

TAKE THIS CLASS! If you need an art credit, or just credit in general. There is no section, he's super helpful, really clear, and really REALLY entertaining. And GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS!!! He's a great professor - and you slowly realize he's a VERY accomplished dancer. Take it, take it, take it!

One of my favorite classes at UCSB. Lectures are extremely entertaining. It's not an "easy A" kinda class..but it is "easy B" :D

Oh what a joyous course, this man is sooo amazing. This course is sooooo freakin' cool and not very hard. It definitely enriched my knowledge of dance and enabled me to appreciate the art a whole lot more.

Comment:
This is the hardest class I took at UCSB, and I'm not joking. It is ridiculous, and he is obnoxious as hell. I wound up p/NP with this one, and I'm glad I did. You must go to class, the reading is insignificant; and he is overly sexual with his demonstrations and discussions of his own sex life. Horrible.Don't take this class, shouldn't be offered

great professor, he has so much experience and has met almost everyone & he has a story for everything, also his in class performances are hilarious and lecture is never boring, pay attention and take notes and tests wont be a problem just don't expect an easy class cause the material is challenging

He is entertaining, but he grades really tough. Don't bother buying any of the books, because all that matters is the lecture notes. Tests are really tough, so you need to really study.

The trickiest and hardest tests I have ever taken. Hard to get points and the lectures are more for his enjoyment than for yours. You learn more about his life than dance and I found him to be haughty and annoying

This teacher is interesting but lectures are way to fast to fallow unless you are a dancer and already are familiar with the information. His midterms and finals are also extremely difficult. He asks questions that you would only know if you had prior knowledge of the subject.

He is a good professor. Just study your notes and pay attention in class. Watch the films. His test can be tricky, so make sure you know your stuff well. He really cares about his students, and he is really helpful.

Ridiculously easy class if you show up and watch him dance. If you blow the class off, you'll get a crappy grade. Simple as that. If you show up and take notes, it's an easy A.

This dudes annoying and praces around like Peter Pan! The grading system is a rip off, since there are few points and the tests are tricky. Who knows what he'll ask about the performances (take notes ..if it helps).
