Let’s
Dance!!
Sponsored by the Department of Theater & Dance
This program is designed to give students experience and knowledge in basic dance techniques and creative movement. Along with solid technical training, our program offers positive learning experiences that allow students to express ideas and feelings in movements that are uniquely their own. The structure of the classes is noncompetitive. Although there is no formal recital offered, parents will have the opportunity to visit classes throughout the semester.
Attire:
No special clothing required. Wear clothing that is easy to move in, avoiding clothing with buttons, snaps, and zippers.
