Dance

Berkwood Hedge School’s creative dance program is a performance arts curriculum which integrates body and mind to develop physical imagination.

Students experience body awareness, trust in self and others, and develop a sense of emotional and physical connectedness. In a safe environment, students are active participants in the joy of moving alone or as a cohesive group. Beginning with the exploration of the basic elements of dance, our program supports the National Dance Standards with dance, music, and rhythmic activities and teaches dances and techniques from around the world. Students gain a deeper understanding of world culture, artistic expression, process, and performance. Most importantly, our dance program fosters physical and cognitive confidence and provides a creative window to the world.
