Dance

This year the students will be exploring the elements of dance in conjunction with choreographing dances for their Town Meetings.  We’ll be working closely with the Wasatch drama specialist to create performances based on a field of study from the core curriculum.  Be sure to ask your child what they are creating in dance this year—and don’t miss the Town Meetings!
