Dance 2
Overview
Students will experience dance on an intermediate level. Dance II is an extension of the Dance I course, but will delve deeper into the technique, content, and history, providing students with the opportunity to further their creative experience.
Goals
Students will continue to focus on anatomy, body, weight, shape, space, time, effort, history, and technology, as well as learning the universal language of dance, LMA. Through these concepts, students will work to interpret, appreciate, compose, and critique dance. Students will focus on classical genres such as Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theater, Hip Hop, Modern, and Composition.
