Dance History and Choreography
Katie offered to let me share her version of a dance sequence from the movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy". (A sample of one of two dance projects for each lesson).
Thank You Katie.
Thank You Katie.
This 18 week/9 lesson challenging and creative and ultra cool dance course is geared towards dance students who are looking for ways to expand their knowledge of dance history while working on their choreographic skills.
This course it is a lot of FUN! Students from different dance disciplines (ballet, tap, hip hop etc..) and different numbers of years dancing are all challenged at their own levels. Dance students are not always given that opportunity in their dance classes to dig deeper. This course dives in as students design "dance".
Students should plan to give 90 hours to the course over 18 weeks. Based on about 90 hours of work, it is suggested that students receive 1/2 high school credit). By exploring dance history and experimenting with a variety of dance challenges, students will strengthen their choreographic skills and their love for movement in space (dance).

Dance Course Reviews
"I would highly recommend this dance class. It has been wonderful for my daughter to learn about the history of dance as well as different dance types. It has been stretching for her as she breaks out of her "hip-hop" mold and realizes that she can do other dances as well. She enjoys watching the other students' dances online and learning from them as well. Thank you, Mrs. G!! " - From a Dance Mom
So far my son has had a lot of fun with the class. I think he is getting a lot out of the choreography projects. This class has been wonderful so far for encouraging him to write in an area that is of interest to him. I’m so glad we found it when we did and he had the opportunity to be in it. - From a Dance Mom
