Dance

Dive into the Arts
Mercy's Dance Program

Dance is offered as full-year, credit bearing courses in our beautiful dance studio. While emphasizing technique of dance, classes accommodate the needs and interests of students of all levels.
Our classes are open to beginners seeking a new experience, athletes working on agility and coordination, and more advanced students interested in building their performance and technical skills through a variety of dance styles. 

Students of dance at Mercy receive an introduction to multiple genres of dance through classes emphasizing technique, performance style, and associated vocabulary. Rehearsals emphasize collaboration, coordination, artistry, and building choreography, and are designed to encourage personal expression and stylistic exploration with cooperation to build a performance experience for the students and school community.

The Many Benefits of Dance

In addition to movement techniques, students learn about the many benefits of dance, including mental and physical health, nutrition, coordination, injury prevention, and improved focus. Throughout the year, the many transferable skills gained from dance are also reinforced, such as confidence, creativity, public speaking, teamwork, the ability to edit and revise, peer collaboration, and cultural understanding. Intermediate Dance builds on the content and skills explored in Introduction to Dance, with greater emphasis on mastery.
