North Harford High – DA28W: Honors Dance

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This is a weighted honors performance course offered to advanced dance students in grades 11-12, who show an interest in being a peer mentor/tutor, and future dance teacher or dance major in college. Students will be eligible to take this class through an interview process. Learning expectations will include advanced development in ballet, modern, and jazz, with a concentration on performance. Historical, cultural, and social dance forms will be included in history and reflection experiences as well as interdisciplinary student projects. Along with regular writing and reading assignments, in-class student and teacher evaluations, students will become leaders in daily classroom activities, planning with the teacher. Evening rehearsals are required to prepare for upcoming student-led concerts, recitals, and assemblies. This performance group will perform in a variety of settings throughout the year that will require co-curricular dedication from the student. There are at least three required performances in the winter, spring, and seminar dance concerts. Students may take this course more than one time.
