PE Dance Fitness

Welcome to Dance!

I am so happy to have you in this class. Please note that in order to earn credit for this course you must be taking dance classes, involved with a dance company/team, or dancing on your own as dance skills are not specifically taught in this class. Throughout this course, students will analyze their dance skills and health habits to nurture care and respect for self and others, which fosters mental and physical well being. Students will also understand and appreciate how sincere effort and healthy habits assist them in improving their technical dance skills for achieving fluency of movement.  

*Taking this class fulfills the high school PE requirement for Individual Lifetime Activities*

Benefits of Dance

Dancing can be a way to stay fit for people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. It can improve your muscle tone, strength, endurance, and fitness. It is a great social activity, and a fun way to meet new friends. 

What is expected in this class?

Throughout the semester, you need to complete 40 hours of dancing. You may not count any dance hours you completed before the semester began- it must all be completed during the semester. The 40 hours of dance will make up 50% of your grade. The other 50% of your grade will come from the online coursework for the course in Edgenuity. Please plan on spending about 20 min each week working on the online coursework.

*Please use Google Chrome as your browser as it works best with Edgenuity

*Grades update in PowerSchool every Wednesday morning. 

Logging your Dance Hours:

You need to complete 40 dance hours throughout the semester for full credit (20 for quarter credit.) The last assignment in your course in Edgenuity is where you will report your hours. Please keep track of them so you can log them properly and accurately once you complete them all.
