Why Join Dance?
Hamilton High School offers different levels of dance ranging from the serious to recreational user. Classes consist of a variety of styles and we emphasize quality of performance, and the artistic expression of each student. Students are encouraged to not only better their technique, but are also encouraged to find their voice through dance. Classes are open to boys and girls. Some classes require an audition to be placed.
