Skyline’s dance program offers a variety of different dance classes. Depending on your preferred dance style, Skyline has a class for everyone.

“I love dancing,” says Carmen Castro.

Though it’s too late to take a dance class this semester, it’s definitely not too late to register for a dance class for next semester. Right now, Skyline’s fall semester catalog offers over ten different dance classes including ballet, tango, swing dance, Chinese dance workout, creative dance, cardio dance, salsa, Afro/Brazilian dance workout and ballroom dancing. If you want to learn something a little more traditional, you can register for ballroom dancing, or you can take creative dance for a more contemporary style.

To receive an Associates Degree with a major in dance there are a few requirements. The required dance courses are DANC 110, 130, 140, 330, 390 and 400. You’re also required to take human anatomy and fundamentals of music. Then you are to complete at least six units from a separate list of classes, for a total of 22 units toward your dance major.

“Dance is definitely something I am interested in,” Shafeen Saheed said.

Even if you aren’t a dance major, there are plenty of other reasons to take a dance class.

“I’m taking them just for fun,” Castro said. “I enjoy them.”

Others take them to fulfill their physical education requirement, or just to exercise on a day to day basis.

Even though Skyline offers plenty of dance classes, there are still some that we are missing.

“I think we’re missing hip hop,” said Lauren Moon, referring to one class she would like to see added to the catalog.

In any case, Skyline’s dance program is here. It’s something that more students should take advantage of. If nothing else, dance class is a good place to have fun and fulfill your physical education requirement at the same time.
