Description of Dance 2
Dance is a universal language, an expressive and vibrant art with the capacity to unify the physical, mental, social, emotional, aesthetic, and spiritual. This intermediate level dance course builds dance knowledge and skills in technique, improvisation, choreography, artistic expression, performance, history, culture, life skills, and connections to other curricular areas. 

Explanation of Standards
The Utah Dance Core Curriculum embodies the universal principles and language of dance as an art form, and encourages awareness of body movement and its creative potential for communicating meaning and self-expression. By creating, performing, and responding to dance, students address dance education goals which are divided into four dance standards: Technique, Elements of Dance, Creative/Choreographic Processes, and Meaning. Technology requirements for this class include audio and visual recording/playback equipment and percussion instruments.
