Dance
One exploratory I would love to teach that is not currently at every high school is Dance!
My Years of Dance
From age 5 to 18 I danced in multiple different academeies within multiple genres. Beginning with jazz I continued into the genre of tap, contemporary and hip-hop.
Dancing with Sheridan
I danced with Sheridan Dance Academy in Powell River, B.C. from 2007-2012. In this time I was able to explore my creativity as well as gain physical and social awareness. In grade 11 I was given the opportunity to go to New York City with other dancers in the academy and attend classes with incredible teachers and people.
Application to Musical Theatre
The Music Man
In Grade 12 I tried out for my first school play which just so happened to be a musical, "The Music Man". I was finally able to include my learning of dance into my high-school education by not just performing, but helping to choreograph the school musical!
New York City
Seeing New York, experiencing the culture and being able to dance alongside some of the best was an unbelievable experience that I would not have been able to do if not for my dance education.
