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.

This course marks both a continuation and transformation of your global dance encounter, building upon your existing knowledge and skills while propelling you into new realms of artistic exploration and excellence. This is a transformative dance journey meticulously crafted for exceptional, curious, and creatively driven individuals. Dive deep into the dynamic tapestry of global dance traditions and contemporary trends, propelling participants toward excellence.

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.
