Dance 6 gives students beginner dance skills while improving coordination, self-confidence, strength, flexibility, and creative ability. Students will choreograph and perform dance presentations in class as well as develop dance vocabulary, rhythm, and basic footwork. Students will learn various genres, from traditional to hip-hop, and develop a passion for self-expression through dance.
The Grade 6 Explorer Wheel program offers students a dynamic opportunity to discover their interests and talents by rotating through four diverse courses throughout the year—each for one quarter. By sampling these subjects, students gain insight into their passions and make informed choices about elective classes in future years. This program introduces students to Design & Innovation 6, where they engage in creative problem-solving and hands-on projects; Dance 6, which fosters physical expression and rhythm; Drama 6, where students build confidence and explore storytelling and performance; and Visual Arts 6, which encourages creativity and visual expression. By sampling these subjects, students gain insight into their passions and make informed choices about elective classes in future years.
