The Middle and Upper School Dance Program is taught by Rebecca Metzger and is designed to introduce many styles of dance to the beginning student, but with a focus on ballet as the foundation of all dances. In the seventh and eighth grade dance classes, students are introduced to ballet, hip hop, jazz, and contemporary dance. In the Upper School dance class, students can focus on more detailed aspects of dance, concentrating on the fundamentals of technique (ballet, jazz, and contemporary), proper stretching form, strengthening exercises used in pilates and Gyrotonic, and the choreographic process. Upper School students also develop their performance ability by performing in the Hendrix-Chenault Theater for fall and spring dance concerts, school assemblies, chapel services, and the Spring Arts Festival.
