Dance 2 is a continuation of dance 1. Students will continue to advance their technique, artistry and dance awareness. The course continues focusing on proper technique and performance skills, as well as an appreciation for a variety of dance techniques and styles. Students will expand their knowledge and explore further the elements of dance history, choreography, improvisation, injury prevention, and the rehearsal process. Students will also have several opportunities to explore the elements and principles of choreography by creating original dance works, viewing professional examples, and performing. Students will be showing their works to a larger audience in dance 2.
