DANCE COURSE OF STUDY OVERVIEW
The Performing Arts/Technology H.S. Dance Department’s mission is to create life-long dancers and develop young professional performing artists.
Students will experience the process a dancer goes through beginning with learning technique in the studio. They will transition into rehearsal where they will apply their technical skills and learn performance skills. As the dance students are training and developing their technical and performance skills they also develop their mental and physical stamina. We aim to develop passionate, dedicated, determined and creative young artists.
