Dance Arts

This intermediate/advanced, repeatable course. Hip hop III increases the students' abilities in all areas of technique, performance and choreography but does not introduce new units. Combination's will become more complex, with the stress on clean technique, exploration of new skills, creation of material and freestyle. Students will work towards refining faster and varied tempos, and textures. Students focus is on teacher generated material and refinement of craft.  Higher levels of proficiency are expected and encouraged. Student focus is on innovation of movement signature and peer to peer teaching opportunities.

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 are expected to take two consecutive years of Hip Hop III before progressing into Hip Hop III Honors. Instructional focus and student development will be geared to the application of advanced artistry, technical execution, and self-choreographic growth.
