WELCOME TO DAVIDSEN DANCE
Davidsen Middle School Center for the Arts launched the Davidsen Dance Program in 2017. We are delighted to bring dance into the daily lives of our talented and hard working students. As proud members of a dance group, students learn choreography, dance terminology, nutrition, fitness/anatomy, history, and music for dance. Throughout the year during daily practice, dancers build class and performance etiquette, problem-solving skills, and safe studio practices within the dance environment. Most importantly, students showcase their work at the end of each semester to perform for their family and friends on the big stage in celebration of their achievements. The shows bring a beautiful highlight to each semester and have become a fan favorite and highly anticipated Davidsen tradition!
Ms Mac posts regularly, so follow our Instragram and Facebook pages to see the fun!
