Welcome to Dance!
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*
