Welcome to MVHS DANCE! 

GENERAL DANCE PROGRAM:
At MVHS, the dance program is a venue for students to get a well rounded dance experience. We host two annual dance shows: Fusion: Student Choreography Showcase and our Annual Spring Showcase. MVHS dancers are actively involved in after school rehearsals with flexible scheduling. Each dance in our performance is cast by an open audition, allowing students to be able to create their own schedules based on the dances they want to perform in the shows. For dance classes level 2-4 (intermediate-advanced), performances are required for a performance project grade. 

OUR CLASSES:
Our dance program levels are: Beginning Dance (Dance 1), Intermediate Dance (Dance 2), Advanced Dance (Dance 3), and Expert (Dance 4). Students in all dance levels study Ballet, Jazz, Hip-hop, Improvisation and Choreography, and Contemporary. In addition to those styles, advanced dance sections (levels 3 and 4) also study Lyrical and Modern. Students are subjected to multiple styles of dance to broaden their training, increase their knowledge in dance, and find their own appreciation for each dance form. Students in the dance program are encouraged to be active in the dance community and are given multiple performance opportunities throughout the year. 

MISSION TO DANCE CLUB:
Join Mission to Dance Club to build community, participate in free workshops, fundraise, go on field trips, and be in the know of all things dance at MVHS. We meet Mondays at lunch in the dance room.

IRON WOLF DANCE ENSEMBLE:
Iron Wolf Dance Ensemble (IDE) is our go-to performance group for the school for pep rallies and festivals. It is cast by auditions at the beginning of the school year and runs throughout the entire school year. Find more information about auditions and performances on our Iron Wolf tab at the top of the website. 

SHOWS:


FUSION: STUDENT CHOREOGRAPHY SHOWCASE:

The Fusion: Student Choreography Showcase is a collective dance show that is 100% choreographed by students. Guidance is provided to students that are choreographers in learning the audition process, casting, rehearsing, communicating, and ultimately lighting and staging. Dancers involved in the showcase get to work firsthand with student choreographers, experiencing new styles and genres, diverse creative ideas, and new methods of collaboration. Fusion is a big show and extremely fun. Please see Ms. Ross for details on how to get involved. 


DANCING WITH THE TIMBERWOLVES:

This year, we are adding a fundraiser show/event called, "Dancing With The Timberwolves," performed at the end of January. The show models Dancing With The Stars where dancers from the program get together with CIF athletes to perform duets for an audience. Judges will be a part of the event and there are prizes for the winners. The funds raised will help support the dance program and athletics. Show date, 2024: May 17th at 7pm


IRON WOLF DANCE ENSEMBLE SHOWCASE:

Iron Wolf Dance Ensemble performs their season repertoire along with special guest dancers from elementary and middle schools in the district, and other special guests. Come and see all your favorite routines from the season! Show date, 2024: May 14th at 7pm
