Brief Description Dance
Dance is an elective course open to all students at Bakersfield High School. This class will fulfill a fine arts credit. No previous dance experience is required for Dance I. Students who enroll in this course have very high expectations to be hard working, responsible, and have a willingness to try new things. There is a dress code of dance or gym attire and dance socks/jazz shoes. The purpose of this course is to give students of varying dance abilities and experience the opportunity to enrich their kinesthetic awareness by learning several genres of dance (ballet, jazz, hip-hop, Latin, social and cultural dance) as well as learning the anatomy of the human body, basic fitness principles, the history of dance, dance terminology, choreography, and dance production. There will be an opportunity for an in-school performance in the spring semester. It is not required to perform, but highly encouraged.
