Welcome,

7th Grade Dance:

Students in grade seven develop a sense of themselves in relation to others and in a relation to the world. As a result, they are ready to respond more thoughtfully to dance, to perceive details of style and choreographic structure, and to reflect upon what is communicated. The study of dance provides a unique and valuable insight into the culture or period from which it has come. Informed by social and cultural experiences, movement concepts, and dance-making processes, students integrate dance with other art forms.

This week your child is learning:

• Ballet Terminology
• 2nd Part of Project (Work on in class)
• Work on African Dance

Homework: Continue to work on dance routine at home.
