BTB 001: Learn the Carolina Shag!

Instructor: Will James

The Carolina Shag, South Carolina’s State dance, is a form of dance similar to west coast swing but with less swing and more footwork. I will teach the basic, the full turn, half turn, and the pretzel. Shagging is great to dance to just about anything and you will impress all your friends! For all that are interested, Youtube “Carolina Shag” to get a feel of what potential they could have!

BTB 002: Movie Marketing

Instructor: Colleen Callahan

Ever wanted to know the process behind marketing a movie? Well here’s your chance to learn and even be a part of it. This class will focus on the planning behind developing mass appeal of a film. Then, the class will be divided into groups to develop a campaign for an upcoming 20^th Century Fox movie. Campaigns will be sent to studio executives in Hollywood, who will determine the best campaign and possibly use them in their own marketing planning. This class will serve as a great portfolio and resumé builder. Keep in mind it will be a commitment. While communications, business and digital art majors are preferred, all majors and classes are eligible.

BTB 003: Superhuman Behavior: A Study in Ethics or Superhuman Ethics

Instructor: Brenton Davis

Through discussion of the actions of Superhumans and the ethical rationale behind those actions one may learn how to act ethically. Superhumans discussed will range between classics such as Superman, Batman and Spiderman, to more modern heroes such as the Punisher, Hyperion, and the Question. Course Materials will include reading and select scenes from visual media and will be conducted as a class discussion facilitated by a mediator (the Instructor)

BTB 005: Clogging: From Hillbilly to Hip Hop! (Intermediate)

The class will end with an informal performance for students to show the routines and steps they have been working on.

BTB 006: The Culture and History of Surfing

The course will highlight where and how surfing originated, what it means physically, mentally and possibly spiritually to surf, and the culture of those who are bitten by the surfing bug.
