Dance Technique III Honors

This honors/advanced repeatable dance class progresses as an extension from the Dance Technique III class. A further focus on proper technique while performing more complex combinations and exploring different rhythms and styles. This class is for advanced dancers who like physical complicated choreography, and self-expression. Dancers will utilize their advanced technique while learning choreography and developing their own personal style which will enhance their overall performance. Elements of improvisation are also explored and perfected. This advanced dance class offers the opportunity for students to create a personal movement style while exploring a variation of styles: jazz, contemporary, lyrical and modern given through combinations and choreographic projects. 

This course provides an opportunity to explore the processes of composing and producing advanced level choreography. Students will identify and integrate the contributions of contemporary choreographers for the purpose of expanding their choreography skills. An emphasis on larger compositions are expected.

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 choreography for the Emotions Spring Dance Show (April). Seniors are expected to be part of the Senior Showcase Dance Show in May.
