Dance Academy Program at Brock Secondary
Brock Secondary's Dance Academy Program is able to accommodate all levels of dancers - no previous dance experience is required.
Our Dance Academy is in one block in one semester, so students have Dance each day. Dance can be taken in grades 8 and 9 in place of a regular PHE block. In grades 10, 11 and 12, Dance can count as an Arts credit toward a student's Graduation program.
The academy focuses on four main styles of dance (Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary and Hip Hop). Our Academy teacher is trained in ballet and contemporary, and will also ensure a diverse experience by hiring instructors from outside agencies.
Students can expect about 1 class per week dedicated to strength and conditioning. As well, students will have the opportunity to experience how dance is an important part of many cultures around the world through fold dances.
Equipment: Students will be required to dress appropriately for flexible movement. Acceptable attire includes shorts, yoga pants, sweatpants, bare feet or grip socks as well as professional dance shoes, tights and body wear. No jeans or outdoor shoes. Time for changing is encouraged at the beginning and end of each class. This academy is held in our drama/dance studio on-site.Â
Grade of Students Involved: Grades 8 to 12
Cost: $250 to cover costs of additional dance instructors to support other genres of dance.
Note: Dance Academy is one block in one semester. Students have Dance each day.
