Spring Concert 2013!


A swing dance performed by the Advanced Dance class in the spring concert at SCHS.

The NC Dept. of Public Instruction includes more than technique (Ballet, Modern and Jazz dance) and craft (the art of choreography) in the dance curriculum. In addition to technical skill development and choreographic design, the curriculum challenges students to learn about dance in different social settings and consider the impact they may have had on society.


This piece is the product of a two week study. My students had no previous instruction/background with swing dance and approached the newly exposed art form with great enthusiasm. They had a lot of fun dabbling in swing dance and were very creative with their choreographic approach.





A contemporary dance performed by the Advanced Dance class in the spring concert at SCHS.

The small group portions of the choreography were created by the students. They were challenged to use various levels and facings, contrast in time as well as intermediate level dance technique.

It's a jungle over at SCHS... at least it will be soon!

Set building and costume design are officially underway in Stallion territory! We are in the process of converting our stage into an African jungle.

How do you make a normal baby doll into a baby ape? Mrs. Fowler's Art students have the answer!
