Dance 9 is for those who have never stepped foot in a studio to those who have danced their entire lives. We look at how dance offers a unique way of exploring one’s identity and sense of belonging, allows one to express aspects of self, culture, history, and community, and how growth as a dancer is dependent on perseverance, risk taking, reflection, and resilience. Students will focus on improving their dance literacy, including names and forms of movement, specific styles or techniques.​
