As this is the first time you will be evaluated in Dance, here are some useful information you might want to know:

• Dance education teaches the values and skills of creativity, risk taking, making judgments in the absence of rules, and higher-order thinking skills.
• Dance provides an opportunity for students to recognize that there are multiple solutions to problems.
• Dance teaches you tempo, melodic lines, pitch and rhythmic patterns - same things you learn in your music theory :)
• Dance routines help you train your visual and aural memorization skills!
• Dance education helps you with to understand better space, time and your body movement.
• Dance education helps students develop physical fitness, and effective stress management approaches.

During your Dance Evaluation you will be observed on:

• How good you have memorized the dancing routine
• If your movements are on beat (on tempo)

Good luck to everyone and have fun during your preparation!
