Dance

Here at Basie, all scholars receive a quality, well-rounded dance education with a rigorous curriculum not only centered around technique and performance but interdisciplinary in connection with Dance History, Anatomy, Kinesiology, Composition, Musicianship, Pre-Professional training, and more. Scholars are exposed to diversified performance opportunities that include but are not limited to school-wide performances, our annual breast cancer walk, after-school programs, outside partnerships, collaborations, and more. Dance Education here at Basie fosters a body-mind connection, strengthens many skills such as multi-tasking, community building, discipline, time management, and overall student development in both their academic and socio-emotional learning.
