The Dance Department of Arts High has at its core a mandatory program of ballet, modern and jazz dance. It is accepted that all serious dancers today must be well-founded in all of these disciplines. Students take these classes on alternating days every afternoon during their arts periods. In addition, a diverse program of other dance forms are offered in the daily seventh period. These include choreography, pointe work and urban tap. Ethnic dance from various countries such as Spain, Africa, the Phillipines, East India and Japan, are rotated on a yearly basis. |
