INTRODUCTION TO DANCE 8 TO 10

The development of this Integrated Resource Package has been guided by the principles of learning:

Learning requires the active participation of the student.
People learn in a variety of ways and at different rates.
Learning is both an individual and a group process.

To ensure that they receive a broad education program, all students must take the fine arts at all levels. In each of grades 8, 9, and 10, students are required to take one or more of the fine arts subjects: dance, drama, music, or visual arts.

Dance courses offered to satisfy the fine arts requirement at grades 8, 9, and 10 will be labelled as:

Dance 8
Dance 9
Dance 10

These courses could be further designated according to the specific focus or methodology of the course (e.g., Dance 9: Modern Dance, Dance 9: Folk Dance, Dance 9: Choreography).

Schools are encouraged to provide opportunities for students to take more than one dance course (or other fine arts course) at a given grade level. All courses must address all of the learning outcomes for their designated grade level.
