Dance III

Dance III focuses on performance and dance technique in ballet, modern, contemporary, jazz and musical theater dance. Students learn how to express themselves using appropriate dance terminology and by referencing dance history. Students will develop their artistic voice through group movement studies and a stronger practice of technique. Students will create movement and set choreography on a soloist, in a duet, and small groups. Students will be required to critique their work and the work of others. Dance III will help build a portfolio of choreography and pieces for the student to take with them to college. Students will be showcased in multiple performance opportunities throughout the year, on and off-campus. Joining Ocean Dance Company or auditioning for the Spartan Dancers are highly recommended for this level of dance. After school rehearsals for concerts are required throughout the year.
