Arts Philosophy
Our mission is to nurture the creativity inherent in all. We promote courageous exploration, self-awareness, and cultural fluency through a collaborative approach that allows each student to discover their unique creative voice. We believe that all students must have the opportunity to discover a clear understanding of how the arts impact their life in a personal, social, economic, and cultural context. We believe that the arts engage the whole person – the intellect, heart, and the body. The arts allow for essential connections – to the individual, community, and the world.

The dance program offers a supportive and inclusive environment for students to develop an awareness of alignment, strength, flexibility, and coordination of body and mind. Program courses focus on broadening technique, developing a complex understanding of movement, and enhancing performance artistry.
