Course Description:
Hampton High School Dance course will assist students in navigating the various mediums of dance, movement and choreography on a performative level. While exploring various dance genres, students will learn about the history of dance, engage in dance activities and participate in dance events. The Hampton High School Dance Course is open to students at Hampton High School in grades 9th-12th, and is designed to give students on all levels the opportunity to master dance vocabulary and movements. The intent of this course is to provide students with an awareness and appreciation for the kinesthetic values associated with the physical body, while learning to maneuver the body to demonstrate its expressive capabilities. Although dance is a performance based class, students will have an opportunity to develop choreographic skills and integrate technology, thus making dance an experience to remember.
