Dance 1

This is an introductory dance class of the following genres: ballet, jazz, hip hop, modern/lyrical, performance, and choreography. In each unit, the students learn history, influence on/impact of pop culture, technique, terminology, and movement.  We have unit tests & skills tests with many units as well.  Skills tests are graded for effort, memory, technique & performance. Dance classes perform in the spring show, Vanguard, on campus in April.

*There is a wide range of levels/abilities in this class. We tailor/modify technique combinations & dance combinations to accommodate every level of dancer in the class.
