Your Performance is Coming Up!!!

Dance 2, Dance 3, and Social Dance will all be performing in Lone Peak Performing Dance Company's Winter Concert!


Full Dress Rehearsal is Wednesday December 5th after school!
Concert is December 6th & 7th 2012.
Show starts at 7:00pm.
Call time with warm up (for PDC, Dance 2 & 3) is at 5:00 PM on stage.

This is required for a grade in Dance 2/3, and is in place of the cha cha technique test for social dance for those who committed to that choice.

This is going to be a lot of fun!
Remember to keep the "first thing from be the change"a secret :)

Dance 1 Videos

HI

I'm busy here at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, but I am working on converting your videos to be uploaded.  Please be patient.

I hope the "sub" day went well. 


Keep checking back here with directions and updates.  Your watching and personal assessment will be due on UCUTIPS before class on test day (Wednesday)

Upcoming Tests...

B1: Social Dance:  Video record dancing with your partner Thursday September 22 in class.  You will need to watch your video on my ucutips page with our secret class password and fill out a self-evaluation on ucutips as well.  Monday will be a practice day after having seen your video, and you will be tested on Wednesday.

B2: Dance 1:  We will be finishing our name letter combination in class this week.  Coming up next week we will be having a written test on "body" and "motion" as well as being video-recorded before you actually get tested on your practical skill.  I will video you on Wednesday or Friday next week. 
You will be tested the following week after you have viewed your video on ucutips and completed the online self-assessment.  Remember to keep your journals up to date, as those will be graded and turned in periodically.

Some of our movement skill tests will include: plies/jumps, tendues/degages/grande battemants, across the floor locomotor movements,  improvisation on axial/locomotor movements and body part isolations/initiations, as well as our name combination.

B3: Dance 3:

B4: Performing Dance Company:  We have been working hard on our Shakespeare dances (both being student-choreographed and collaborated on... good job, since some other schools are actually paying to have professionals choreograph their dances, what a great opportunity for you!!!)  2 weeks!

We have also simultaneously been working on the Homecoming Halftime which is this Friday!

Therefore, as soon as Shakespeare is over, we will be having a mandatory big graded assignment for all PDC dancers:  "Proposals".  All dancers will propose a researched and studied topic for a piece of choreography they would like to choreograph.  When proposing, dancers can state how much they would like to choreograph the piece they are presenting for real, but not all will have the opportunity to put their proposal into fruition for this first concert.  Dancers will be graded upon their professionalism in doing the presentation, research put into the subject, 1 minute of choreography to show, creativity and originality, and clear vision of where and how the dance will progress.  Our first concert theme is "Myths and Legends", so all the proposals must be based along those lines.
