The upper school dancers visited NYC over Thanksgiving Break. We took classes at the Limon Institute, Broadway Dance Center and Dance Space. We also visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Goya Exhibit. Students in front Goya Exhibit banner shown to the left. Students at Woodward have dance classes available to them grades 1-12.
Classes consist of ballet and modern technique.
Students in grades 1-6 elect dance classes in place of physical education classes two times a week. Students in grades 7-12 take dance as part of their daily curriculum and may audition for the Upper School performing Dance Ensemble following their sophomore year. However, all students enrolled in the dance program have several performance opportunities. At the Lower School level, there are also special performance ensembles that rehearse after school hours. Group III Honors Dance consists of dancers in first and second grades.
