Dance Overview
CCA Envision Dance and Conservatory was established not only to foster excellence in dance and the development of original thought and creativity, but to also encourage socially aware artists. The goal is for our students to participate in the creation of works that exist as a part of their world. Envision Dance seeks to initiate a dialogue about how art can affect and reflect on a community.
It seeks to ‘stand on the shoulders of giants’ to create new works and experiment with new ideas in order for our artists to tell their stories and address current issues or common themes as those like George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp, Bob Fosse, Alvin Aley, and Pilobolus have done before them. The outcome being that dancers learn to think for themselves and voice their opinions as artists.
The hope is that, through the rigorous curriculum of both day class and Conservatory, students are inspired to continue their process as dance artists throughout high school and on to college as Dance Majors or Minors. Our hope is also to foster an appreciate for the art of dance for the students at Canyon Crest Academy so they are compelled to continual seek opportunities to attend dance performances in their community, whereever that may be.
