Dance Arts

 Hip Hop III Honors refine students' mastery of abilities in all areas of technique, performance, and choreography but do not introduce new units. Combinations will become more complex, emphasizing clean techniques, exploration of new skills, and creation of materials and freestyle. Students will work towards refining faster and more varied tempos and textures. Students will practice creating materials and refining crafts. Student focus is on the innovation of movement signature and peer-to-peer teaching opportunities. Higher levels of proficiency are expected and encouraged. 

This course explores the processes of composing and producing advanced-level choreography. Students will identify and integrate the contributions of contemporary choreographers to expand their choreography skills. An emphasis on larger compositions is expected.

Physical daily participation is required, and Hip Hop III(H) students must perform in one unique-themed dance concert each semester.

Additional Expectations: Students in all courses will be graded daily on their physical participation in class. Excessive absences will impact your grade in this course. Dancers in the class are expected to audition for choreography for the Emotions Spring Dance Show (April). Seniors are expected to be part of the Senior Showcase Dance Show in May.
