Class Description: Dance Performance is a one-year course designed to engage students who have a continuing interest in dance in a more in-depth study.  Emphasis will be placed on advanced dance skills and technique, performance, choreography and competition.  This course will take the dancer through a real world scenario of a dancer experiencing the audition process, choreographing their own original works, rehearsing, lighting design, costuming, and staging.  The portrayal of the choreographer’s artistic intent should be conveyed appropriately by the dancer(s).   The class will function as a virtual dance company, with all students being committed to their role as Artistic Director, Treasurer, Costumer, Choreographer, supporting cabinet members or dance company ensemble.
