Grade 8 dance is designed for students to continue developing the basic elements of dance. Students learn basic to intermediate dance techniques in modern, jazz, and ballet, and continue to explore dance styles such as hip hop, contemporary, and more. Students express their own creativity through improvisation and self-choreographed works, and have many 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 8 Dance Ensemble performs at the Dance Showcase.
