(outside the timetable)

Prerequisite/Co-requisite(s): Successful audition in September. Students wanting to enroll should also take Advanced Dance for the technical elements, as this is a performance-based course.

This course meets entirely outside the regular timetable in the early morning and at lunch time.  Students should choose this course if they are planning to audition for Dance Troupe in the fall.  Students are expected to approach this course as if they were professionals (Commitment and an exceptional work ethic are necessary).

The focus of this course is on performance and refining techniques specific to the different dance styles that will be taught. Throughout the year, students will be working with a variety of guest choreographers. The following will be evaluated:

• Ability to receive direction
• Self-motivation and self-direction
• Commitment to the rehearsal process
• Performance quality
