DANCE HISTORY

“Dance has been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and 

entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations.”  

 

Derived from strong cultural backgrounds,

we’ll research and review the history of dance, it’s pioneers, codified contributors, and its renowned impressionable choreographers. 

PROGRAM GOALS

  • Develop dance technique (alignment, rotation, centering, and trans­ference of weight).

  • Develop neuromuscular coordination (precise control of placement and movement of all body parts in relation to the choreography).

  • Enhance rhythm and musicality (how the movement relates to the music).

  • Improve muscle memory (the ability to pick up movements faster, remember them longer, and move in unison with others in the class).

  • Improve dance fitness (strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance).

  • Develop performance quality, style and the ability to communi­cate the meaning of movement.
