UVU CE Sophomore form

Dance 3:

Here is the document for the "Sophomore by Exception" form for UVU Concurrent Enrollment for Dance 3 (UVU 141R)

WELCOME

 I am excited for a new start to a new school year!

I have lots to teach you and I know you have lots you can teach me too.  This year I hope that we can not only learn all about all the aspects of dance, but that we can also learn how to be inquisitive, problem-solving, creative, active and fun loving people who care about each other. It is my hope that we can all try and "turn over a new leaf" in our own lives to work a little harder, and to be a little better.

 Dance and teaching is my passion. I hope to share my passion with you and most importantly, I hope that you can come away from my class having learned something that you can take away with you and use for the rest of your life (even if you are not going to be a "dancer")

I want you to succeed. Please come positive with an open mind and ready to learn.

Welcome Back to School!
Mrs. Krista Di Lello

NEW PDC REQUIREMENT:
-"HIGHLY encouraged to take Dance 3 (which is UVU concurrent enrollment credit) for all PDC members"

Field Trip: "Joe Goode" Jan 25th

LPHS Dance Class Field Trip:

“Joe Goode” Matinee Performance

Friday FEBRUARY 24^th 10:00am 2012 at Kingsbury Hall in SLC

This Performance:

Junior high and high school students are invited to attend Joe Goode’s student matinee performance.

“[Goode’s work] does everything good art is supposed to do – touch viewers’ souls and minds – and make them want more.” -San Francisco Examiner

Joe Goode has created a genre of dance theater that combines text, gestures, and humor with his own deeply physical, high velocity dancing. With an emphasis on understanding, compassion and tolerance among people through the innovative use of dance and theater, each Joe Goode performance will not just entertain but also provoke and inspire.

For more information go to Kingsburyhall.org

Graded Assignment: Concert Critique (50 points)

It is a required graded assignment for students in Dance 1, 2, 3 and PDC to attend one university or professional level modern dance concert a semester and write a critique on it.  There are only a couple approved performances available, do not leave it until the last minute at the end of the semester!  This concert performance is approved to count towards the concert report assignment.

Through attending and viewing artistic concert dance, students are able to see professional dancers and professional choreography, thus enhancing their perception, understanding, and appreciation of dance.   Students see new possibilities for dance and what to aspire to when dancing, performing, and choreographing themselves.  There is so much that can be learned through watching.

Cost: $3

These professional concerts usually range from $20-$50 and we, as a school, have the great opportunity to see such companies at a reduced, or even free rate!  There is a minimal transportation charge for the bus at only $3. 

Schedule:  Students are “School Excused” from B1 (at 8:40am), B2 & B3

8:40 am                                    -Meet at front of school to load bus

10:00-11:00 am                        -Performance

approx 11:15-11:30 am             -Leave Kingsbury Hall in SLC (eat your lunch on the bus)

approx 12:00-12:30 pm            -Arrive back at Lp, go directly to your B4 class           

To Attend:

Please come with us to see the performance dressed nice.  Students must travel with us on the bus to and from the concert.   Bring your lunch to eat on the bus on the way home.  Bring pen/pencil and paper. All school rules apply.  

Mrs. Di Lello MUST have the payment receipt and attached permission slip signed by a parent/guardian in order to reserve your seat at this performance, as seating is limited.   Please pay money to Lone Peak High School, re: PDC Workshops / Fieldtrips account.   Due: Tuesday Jan 24^th 2011

Hope to have you join us!
