There is a dance intensive in August and Dance Company also participates in the Regional and National High School Dance Festivals every year. In the past several years, Company has performed in Disney World and at halftime during the Orange Bowl.

After School Dance Program

(Audition required for placement- Offered to all students at all levels)
This extracurricular class is an introduction to the RBC Dance program. The classes meet once a week after school from October to January. In January the students perform in “The Coffee House Cabaret” to showcase their talent. After the Cabaret, students are invited to audition to dance in the senior choreography projects. Students work with the senior Dance Department students on their choreography and perform their dance in the Spring Dance Concert in May.

Summer Dance

RBC’s Dance Department offers incoming freshmen a summer dance camp. Students attend a two-hour class, four days per week for two weeks. The camp focuses on dance techniques including stretching and strengthening exercises, ballet, jazz, musical theater, hip hop, modern and lyrical. The camp usually takes place at the end of June/ early July. Students can register for this program through the school website.

Guest Choreography

(Sign up required through the dance department; must be a member of department or after school dance programs)
During rehearsal quarter for the Winter Dance Concert, Coffee House Cabaret and Spring Dance Concert, RBC dance faculty invites professionals and alumni working in professional dance to work with RBC dance students. The purpose of these workshops is to introduce RBC dance students to a variety of dance styles and teachers. Each dancer interested in guest choreography should be able to pick up and retain choreography quickly. The workshop consists of a warm-up, stretch and choreography of one complete dance to be performed as part of one of the Main Stage Dance Concerts.

Dance Club

The club meets during the school’s “activity period” (approximately twice per month.) After a brief warm-up, students are instructed in dance and yoga postures to stretch and strengthen, proper breathing techniques, and dance combinations including jazz, modern, lyrical or hip hop. This activity period is open to anyone, and all levels are welcome!
