CHOREOGRAPHIC PROCESS
Demonstrate high-level choreographic skills to investigate, engage in, and develop creative processes for commercial and concert performances.

PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION PRACTICE
Demonstrate the ability to self-generate professional opportunities and creative spaces and maneuver within various concert, commercial, and social communities locally, regionally, and internationally.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The students will:

  • explore the development, elements, purposes, and significance of dance and its relationship to other performing arts disciplines.
  • demonstrate an ever-growing proficiency in the repertory presented, emphasizing professionalism and performance.
