HT Dance
The goals of the Holy Trinity Dance Program are to allow students to grow in their technique, develop their performance and choreography skills, cultivate self-expression and continue to grow as artists. The courses are designed to foster an understanding and appreciation of, curiosity about, and a lifelong interest in dance. Dance 15/25/35 aim to expose learners to a broad range of artistic and aesthetic experiences from a variety of disciplines. The courses also contribute to preparing students for a range of exciting and rewarding careers in the arts, as well as careers in which they can draw upon the skills, knowledge and attitudes acquired through dance.
Students registered in Dance 15/25/35 learn a variety of dance styles and skills, take part in workshops with local professional artists and are invited to take part in performances and school events. These opportunities allow the students to share their skills with others, receive feedback, develop performance technique and most importantly, have fun!
