Dance

The dance program is ballet-based with a wide range of instruction and training in modern dance, jazz, pointe and ethnic dance. The emphasis on technique is balanced with an academic curriculum in dance history, injury prevention, anatomy, health and nutrition. Students compose and choreograph their own dance pieces. In addition, students have numerous opportunities to participate in performances, field trips and master classes with guest teachers and choreographers. Instruction is given in a fully equipped dance studio with mirrored walls, barres, marley floor and dressing rooms. The goal of the dance program is to achieve technical dance ability, cultivate artistry, enhance self expression, develop collaborate skills and think creatively. Students are fully prepared for audition possibilities and advanced placement programs.
