Version Description
Students build technical and creative skills relative to choreographic structure, performance, dance science, and somatic movement practices; and attend to alignment, collaborative problem solving, dance conditioning, and safe studio practices. They study works of historical significance and make multidisciplinary connections to create new works inspired by environmental, social, cultural, and current events, employ dance as a healthy life skill, and use dance terminology to describe the expressive and aesthetic qualities of performance. In parallel with their learning opportunities in dance, students investigate careers in a wide variety of fields. Public performances may serve as a culmination of specific instructional goals. Students may be required to attend and/or participate in rehearsals and performances outside the school day to support, extend, and assess learning in the classroom. Students in this class may need to obtain (e.g., borrow, purchase) appropriate footwear and/or dance attire from an outside source.Please note that this course satisfies one semester of the required physical education needed toward middle grades promotion.
