This yearlong class fulfills the UC requirement for Fine Arts. This class enables advanced dance students to develop their understanding, appreciation, and artistic expression through dance.  Students will advance their skills in ballet, lyrical, modern, tap and jazz techniques, as well as develop their own choreography. Stage presence and confidence are vital for a performer and students will work on enhancing these techniques. By working on body flexibility, strength, endurance, balance, coordination and relaxation, students will strengthen technique, projection dynamics, memorization skills and confidence. Local diocesan schools will be invited to the class for dance art enrichment programs. This company will study and prepare for the annual Winterfest Dance Concert. Company members will also participate in competitions and workshops during the Spring semester. Students enrolled in this course may request a PE waiver for one semester. This course may be repeated for credit. UC A-G approved – f Visual & Performing Arts.
