The exciting and award-winning dance program at the Lower/Middle School emphasizes the creative process, personal expression, and performance. Dance and expressive movement are integrated into the curriculum of the drama classes. In addition, students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades may choose to take a dance elective for their arts enrichment class. The 6th grade dance curriculum is "The World of Dance," in which students learn a variety of dance styles and rhythms from all around the globe including samba, hip-hop, tarantella, improvisation, and modern dance. The 7th grade dance curriculum is "The World of Modern Dance," in which students learn and experience through technique classes and choreography the history of modern dance in America. And 8th grade dance students experience a more rigorous training in modern dance, choreography, improvisation, and performance on their "World of Contemporary and Post-Modern Dance" curriculum. Eighth graders also enjoy opportunities to perform with the HS dance troupe, Fata Morgana, and at off-campus performances as well as a regional dance festival.
