Dance
The SAAS dance program fosters active participation in multiple dance styles. A rich exposure to contemporary, hip hop, and jazz strengthens students’ creativity, cooperation, and individuality, and also allows them to take ownership of their educational and artistic growth. Through dance, students gain invaluable performance, leadership, and critical and aesthetic thinking skills they can apply in any situation.
All Middle and Upper School students have dance as part of their arts curriculum and as a graduation requirement.
