Whittier High School offers a Dance course made for specific grade levels. Dance 3 is an upper-level course that develops a dance skill in a variety of dance forms and styles. A needed experience of perfecting and performing technique along with movement patterns and compositions. More turns that consider using more abdominal strength and strong arm usage. There will be more challenging techniques such as high jumps, double or more pirouettes, center floor work that includes combining basic foot and arm positions, battement (as in a high kick) , pirouette (spin) and more. More movement formulas such as choreographed- show pieces and dance routines.
That’s what I know for now. Once I start Dance 3 in the fall, I will have more information to share about the upper-level course and how more different and challenging Dance 3 will turnout to be for me!
