Dance classes that are taken for PE credit may be taken as semester courses. A second-semester PE class may only be taken if you have been in the first-semester course in the same year. You are expected to do the same course work as the students taking the class for a Performing Arts credit for grading and must receive at least a 70% to receive the passing grade for the PE credit. The PE classes may only be used for access to advanced-level dance classes if you have been enrolled in the classes both semesters and received assignment grades sufficient to move into an advanced-level class.

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.
