             Social Dance

Class Description:
Throughout this course, students will be introduced to and explore the fundamentals of ballroom dance technique and choreography, the history of ballroom dance and the aesthetic perspective of dance as an art form. Our focus will be based off of Latin and American Ballroom Dance. 

Because of the nature of this class, participation is where most points come from.  This includes being on time, dressing in appropriate dance class attire, participation in discussion, dancing full-out, answering questions, etc.

Each student will receive 10 points per day. 

Tardy = 5/10
Not dressing out (hair, socks, clothes, etc) = 5/10
Chewing gum = 5/10
Behavior or choosing not to participate 5/10
(up to teacher discretion)

If a student is missing for any reason, even school excused absences, student will receive a zero (0) in participation for the day he/she is missing. To receive credit, student must attend a master dance class with Miss Harwood. These master dance classes will take place once a month during SUPER ZAP or on another Monday depending on the term. 

*Make sure you use every opportunity to make up those points. 

*ONLY 3 ABSENCES ALLOWED TO BE MADE UP PER TERM!
