In 6th grade dance students are learning the basics of dance as outlined by the state and national standards.  Students will learn all styles of dance (ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, ballroom, and various world dances) in addition to choreography, anatomy, history, and technology connections. Students will be introduced to the study of dance by learning about the human body as an instrument of expression.  Students will learn about various techniques of dance, dance vocabulary, understanding and analyzing choreographic principles, history of dance, healthful living through dance, the processes of performance and production, and connecting dance to other disciplines.
You don't have to be an expert to be in 6th grade dance, but you DO have to be willing to TRY every type of dance possible.  We are about making smart dancers, not just good dancers.
