When you dance, your purpose is not to get to certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.

Shelby Hodnett- Rm. E132LMS & LHS Dancehodnetts@lisdtx.orgWelcome to the dance class website! This is a place where students can find their class syllabus, information about class schedules, and additional resources from how to care for dance injuries to dance audition information and tips. They will also have access to all slideshows, extra video clips, and any other information that can help them become successful dancers.
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.
