Dance
Rebecca Hobbs
My name
is Rebecca Hobbs. I have the joy of teaching dance to
every child at Perkins. Kindergarten students attend
dance class for 35 minutes, 1st & 2nd grade
classes attend dance class for 40 minutes, and 3rd, 4th
& 5th grade classes attend dance class for 45 minutes
and these all take place once every other week.
 The Dance Program at Perkins is designed to expose children to a variety of dance forms and techniques while encouraging self-discipline and confidence. Your child will develop body control and coordination while learning dance steps, terminology, combinations, and dances. The dancers will experiment with creative movement and be introduced to choreographic principles and processes. Perkins students will gain an appreciation for the art of Dance.
 The mirror reflects the excitement in their eyes as they gracefully dance across the floor.
Dance Attire
-
Students are encouraged to
wear comfortable clothes to school on the day that they have dance class.
-
Students may bring dance
shoes to class, but it is not required.
Dance Focus
Fourth and Fifth Grade students
may choose Dance for their Focus. Dance Focus class takes place once a week for
one hour from 1:50 - 2:50 PM. Fourth Grade Dance Focus meets each Tuesday and
Fifth Grade Dance Focus meets each Thursday. These dancers are expected to wear
dance attire and dance shoes during focus class. The Dance Focus groups perform
throughout the year and are required to attend after school rehearsals. Our big
event is the Dance Finale at the end of the school year!
