Dance
Mary White Ovington | Ms. Corbo
Welcome to the Dance program here at PS/IS 30! Students enrolled in dance study the history and skills of various techniques and styles including Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and Contemporary. By building this dance vocabulary, students are able to develop and perform their own original dance works in addition to gaining life long skills!

In Fall/Winter 2019, the 4th graders prepared for the first ever Winter Dance Showcase. Students learned about various performance skills used for group dances including jazz dance technique, musicality, mood through movement, formations, and the rehearsal process!
