Dance Foundations

Dance Foundations prepares students to creatively express themselves through dance concepts used in a wide variety of dance styles and classes. Students work collaboratively with one another to build dance and art skills, create choreography, and develop storytelling projects. The curriculum is based on developing students' familiarity with the foundations of dance: body, action, space, energy, and time, preparing them for more specialized dance classes. Students are active partners in their learning, incorporating their interests, experiences, and ideas while focusing on social-emotional skills, gross motor development, and the rich development that occurs throughout childhood.
