Welcome to Dance!

Hi Everyone and Welcome to Dance!



Whether you have prior dance experience or are just beginning your journey into the dance arena, I would like to thank you for enrolling in this class. It is because of your interest that we are able to offer this class at LA Matheson and I couldn't be happier!



This blog will be used to post important information, notices and reminders about class, so please make a habit of checking it regularly. Since we won't be in a traditional classroom or use a lot of paper and pencils, it may be easy to forget that this this is still a regular class for a mark and credit! I will do my best to give you verbal reminders in class each day and update this website weekly! Please check this site regularly for information and updates. You may also find my email address on this website if you have any questions or need to ask/tell me something.


This semester we will look at many different genres of dance to give you a broad range of experience. We will be covering:
  • Ballet
  • Jazz
  • Tap
  • Contemporary
  • Hip Hop


You can also expect to PERFORM in the semester-end Dance Showcase in January 2017! All in all it will be a very busy and exciting semester so be prepared, be present everyday, and put your best foot forward!


IMPORTANT
I have created a special and totally PRIVATE Dance Site for class videos. I'll explain this in class, but I have posted the link on the right-hand side of this page under "Important Links" for easy access since it is an unlisted site. More on this in the days to come!



See you in class!

Semester II- March 2016

Hello and Welcome Everyone!

I am very pleased to be back from my Maternity Leave and to be back at LA Matheson. I look forward to teaching you for the rest of the semester. 


Now that I am back, it is important that we take a step back and as I said in class, "Press the Reset Button". My expectations in class are likely going to be different than that of your previous TOC. So starting class with me, let's come in with an open-mind and heart and be ready to work hard and have fun!


We will be reviewing and restarting your Dance Journals, doing Student-led Warm-Ups, starting Jazz, doing Contemporary and then last but not least, Hip Hop! If time-allows and class behavior and attendance permits, we may have in professional guest choreographers as well.


Please check back on this site regularly for reminders or links to my Private, Student Dance Website. I have posted the link on the right-hand side of this page under "Important Links". Please visit it regularly.








Please get your Media Consent forms signed by your parents and returned to me by FRIDAY APRIL 8th so that we can start using the site as soon as possible. DO NOT SHARE YOUR CLASS PASSWORD.

See you in class, changed, on time and ready to DANCE!!!!


-Ms.Sundin :)
