Through studying dance at BIHS, students learn more about themselves, as well as the world around them.  In the first year of dance, students were able to study multiple styles of dance, from Afro-Cuban Salsa to Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian Dance.  

 

One unit included a socio-historical study of vernacular Jazz dance exploring how dances migrated  from West Africa to Latin America and the U.S.  

 

In addition to learning dance techniques from multiple cultures, students improvise original movement, choreograph, perform, and respond to and reflect on dance.
