The dance program is designed to build both technical and creative movement skills. Technical development includes alignment, strength, flexibility, and coordination. Creative exploration integrates improvisation, phrasing, and choreography. A variety of dance styles is introduced throughout the year, including modern dance and jazz. Students are required to take dance in fourth through sixth grades and may elect to dance in seventh and eighth grades. The eighth grade course is an extended study of dance that includes choreography, performance, and master classes with guest artists.
