The IUSD Dance Program aims to instill artistic perception and creative expression in all of our students. Our comprehensive high schools offer classes in dance from beginning to the advanced levels that train students to analyze and critique the aesthetic value of works of dance. These courses teach the theory and practice of choreography, emphasizing dance techniques used in jazz, ballet, and modern dance. Through their performances, group and individual dance projects and improvisation, students develop their capacity to solve problems, communicate, and manage their time and resources, building lifelong learning skills they can use in their dance careers and beyond.
