Welcome to Theatre Dance!

Hello!

Welcome to another year of Theatre Dance! I'm so excited to begin this school year with so many new and familiar faces! This year, I'll be teaching Theatre Dance at RHS hours 2-4 and at HHS hours 6-7. 

Here is the syllabus.  Students should have a paper copy of this, which you can fill out the last page in paper or online. The survey is embedded at the bottom of this post.

RHS-I won't be there on Monday due to a schedule conflict, but I'll be there on Tuesday!

Here are the Remind101 codes for my classes. Make sure you enroll in the correct class hour!

We're starting the year with over 100 students! We have grown so much in just one year. There were 70 students who participated in our 2014 Theatre Dance Recital, "Raising the Barre." You can check out the videos from the dance recital here. Here's an article from the paper about our program.

Deiter is a big help preparing for another year of theatre dance! 🐶 #dancedog
