Dance

Dance technique classes are offered at beginning/intermediate and intermediate/advanced levels. Classes are focused on creating a solid foundation of technical alignment, body awareness, and artistic expressivity. All techniques instill an understanding of full-body warmups, barre work for ballet, floor work, traveling phrases and skills across the floor, and choreography. Dancers receive opportunities to perform in the Performing Arts Center to showcase their class choreography for community events. Other performance opportunities include auditioning for the two school musicals, where they learn how to create different characters as well as choreography. Classes are taught in the Mary Johnson Dance Studio at the end of the academic day throughout the school year.
