Welcome to the dance class website! This is a place where students and parents can find the year at a glance information. All classwork, extra videos, powerpoints, and high school journal entires will be found on the student's class Canvas site.

My classroom goal is to teach your student how to appreciate the art of dance and to be able to apply the knowledge that they gain to real life objectives. Dance has been known to combine several different subjects like physics, history, kinesiology, anatomy, and biology, to create works of art that inspire the world.

*Academic Period

This time during 4th period every day is meant to be used as a tutorial time, homework time, or a period in which students can get caught up on absent/missing work. If you have missing or failing work that needs to be redone for ANY class, this period should be used to complete this work. Please make sure you bring something to work on, and do not ask to go to other teachers during this period.
