NOTE: All dance courses have a $25 costume fee per term, which will be vouchered to the student’s account. Students receiving tuition assistance will have the course fee covered at the same rate as their tuition award. This fee covers concert-specific costumes. Students are responsible for their own rehearsal dance wear, undergarments including leotards and tights, and shoes as required for the course. Students in all dance classes are expected to perform in the fall and spring dance concerts.

Want to take your dance to the next level, further develop your skills as a well-rounded dancer, and, at the same time, insert some fun into your school day by participating in creative, physical activity? Dance Technique II empowers you to become more fluent, confident, and better skilled as a dancer in the classic styles of ballet, pre-pointe, modern dance, Broadway, and contemporary forms of jazz dance. You’ll turn better, leap higher, become more flexible, and gain strength through daily dance classes.

Optional Second Elective as Pass/Fail: The typical course load is six classes. In the 8-9 division, students may opt to take a second elective in (visual arts, performing arts, or computer science) in lieu of a study hall. This is a good option for students who are exceptionally organized and tend to manage their time well; it is not a good option for students with busy extracurricular schedules or who struggle with time management and organization. The seventh class does not count as a graduation requirement. It will not appear on students’ transcripts, and it must be taken as Pass/Fail.
