The art, passion, and the commitment – they all come together in Dance at Camelback High School.
Camelback Dance promotes contemporary dance as a medium that uniquely communicates meaning, emotion, and finding purpose through artistry. It is a program that encourages students to rigorously investigate dance, to develop their imaginations and to create their own unique artistic voices. Ms. Wright and the Camelback Dance students are deeply committed to the progression of artistry and sharing knowledge to deeply engage in the art form.
Dance is a specialized area of the Performing Arts that demands a high level of physical rigor and awareness. Camelback Dance prepares students to critically examine the history, aesthetics, and global context of dance and its relation to other art forms and contemporary issues.
Camelback Dance offers an integrated curriculum that combines the creative process with history through many mediums and technologies, unleashing students’ imaginations and providing them with the skills necessary to realize them. Camelback Dance aims to develop an open and safe environment that encourages a deep sense of individual curiosity, exploration, and inquiry.
