Description:
The Dance: Ballet Skills Certificate will give the student dancer an opportunity to present validation of his or her time, effort, and talent in dance. The certificate encompasses teaching, performing, and the choice of a dance style.
Ballet is often the necessary foundation to succeed at higher levels of other dance styles. Dancers work on posture, placement, and general movement skills. These are performed at the barre, center floor and across the floor. Flexibility, strength, and balance are strived for in an environment requiring great discipline.
The student who receives the Ballet Skills Certificate will have a better opportunity to obtain employment at dance studios and recreational classes, or work as a choreographer with community or school plays.
More information about the Dance program can be found at the Dance page on the Athletics Department website.
