Arts and Communication Magnet Academy – Advanced Dance (F845)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This daily course is designed for the serious-minded student who desires to continue study as a major or minor in college or pursue a career in dance. Students continue to execute more advanced exercises requiring knowledge of alignment, placement, kinesiology, and complex rhythm combinations through the study of ballet/pointe, modern/jazz, and tap. Students continue to explore a wide variety of dance styles and have the opportunity to experiment with choreography. Resume and portfolio creation and preparation for post-secondary auditions are a focus as students begin researching their college or career options. This is a performance-based class. All students are required to participate in the Open Studio Week (mid-year) and the Spring Dance Recital (including dress rehearsals and pre-production work). Students are expected to provide their own daily dance attire appropriate to the style of dance study. A materials fee is applied to this course.
