Welcome to the Stony Point High School Dance Department!
We will be doing many fun activities this year and hope that you will both enjoy and learn from them. It is our goal to provide all with a dance-enriched experience.
In this class, we will study many styles of dance such as jazz, hip hop, ballet, modern, choreography, lyrical, tap, and styles from countries around the world. We will also learn about famous dancers and choreographers, costuming and show production, anatomy and injury prevention, how to critique and analyze dance performances, and each dancer will get to become a choreographer.
