Vision for Learning in Dance

“We are cultivating lifelong dance artists who have the courage to create with intent, connect to others, and express depth of self.”

This statement was collaboratively created by the dance educators of Alpine School District. We each believe dance has the power to cultivate the whole human–body, mind, and soul. As educators, we strive to provide experiences for our students to develop understanding and appreciation of the art form, while also growing in personal artistry and building versatile skills that will serve them throughout their whole lives.
