Dance 4 and independent study is a culmination of Dance 1-3. Students will continue to advance their technique, artistry, and choreographic skills throughout the year. There is a larger focus on choreography and research as well as audition and post-secondary preparedness. The course will continue perfecting proper technique and performance skills. Students will expand their knowledge of anatomy, somatic practices, career possibilities, audition techniques, and the rehearsal process. Students will create original dance works and be involved in the production aspects of performances.
