DANCE 1A

In Dance 1a, students will continue to learn and explore the elements of
dance (body, space, time, energy) in the context of many dance genres, including ballet, jazz,
contemporary, modern, hip hop, and more. Through instruction, students will practice
improvisation, improve technique, gain strength, and increase flexibility. Students will also have
the opportunity to choreograph, perform, and grow as dancers. During the year we will
emphasize the use of creativity, self expression, performance, confidence, and teamwork.
Students will perform in the winter (term 1) or spring (term 2) concert.
