Begininng dance 

Students will learn and develop fundamental dance skills in the areas of Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Musical Theatre, Tap and Folk Dance, as well as gain experience in both production methods and performance. The student will gain an understanding of dance from a historical context; gaining knowledge in dance as it developed from merely a means of communication to its social significance in today’s society. Students are expected to participate in a dance concert at the end of each semester which may require rehearsals outside of normal school hours. Students will also be encouraged to attend one live dance performance off campus.
