The focus of the program is developing and challenging each dancer s abilities and limitations. It is important that students understand that dance is not simply about a series of steps, but rather about the integration of body, mind, and spirit.
Technical development comes from increasing strength, flexibility, and coordination.
A dancer s artistry comes from developing and understanding where inspiration for the dance comes from. Inspiring dancers dance from the inside out, rather than outside in. More about the Dance Program Dance technique classes meet four to five times a week, one hour a day. Classes are offered for 7 th- 12 th grade students. Dancers are also introduced to dance history, dance theory and basic principles of choreography.
