Participation

Participation, not just attendance, is extremely important for students to achieve their full potential. Students will have a weekly grade based upon dressing out, being on time, effort, and progress. Each student starts with a 100 at the beginning of the week, with each day equaling 20 points. The rubric is as follows:

Written Assessments & Projects

Students will be tested over material such as vocabulary and history with each dance unit. Class projects will also be in this category. All written tests will be open notes!

Technique & Performance Assessments

Students will be tested over the execution of dance technique covered during a unit and/or performing a combination in the dance style being covered.
