Middle School Curriculum Posts

Grade 7 Dance is an introduction to the basic elements of dance. Students learn the fundamentals of proper dance technique in modern, jazz, and ballet, and an introduction to dance styles such as hip hop, contemporary, and world dance. Students learn to express their own creativity through improvisation and self-choreographed works. In addition, students will have opportunities to perform on stage. Classes include a full-body warm up, strengthening exercises, across-the-floor technique, and choreography. No prior dance training is necessary and all students with an interest in or any level of experience in dance are welcome.  The Grade 7 Dance Ensemble performs at the Dance Showcase.
