I am trained in modern, contemporary, ballet, hip hop, and jazz. I graduated from Meredith College with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance Education with a K-12 licensure. I currently still dance in a company, and I love performing! I am excited to be the director of the GLHS dance program, and I can't wait to dance with everyone!
Common Questions
Questions about the dance program? Here are some common topics, with everything you need to know. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Contact Ms. DulaHow do I register for Dance 1 (Beginning Dance)?
You will need to register with your counselor for Beginning Modern Dance. This class is the introductory level to many new things, such as Dance History, Kinesiology/Anatomy, and Vocabulary. All movement taught in this course will be geared toward high school level dancers.
How do I register for Dance 2 (Intermediate Dance)?
Those who have passed Beginning Modern Dance with an 80 or above can sign up for Intermediate Modern Dance. You are on track to continue your dance education here at Green Level. In this class, we will look more into Choreography and build your knowledge in Dance History, Kinesiology/Anatomy, and Vocabulary.
What about Dance 3 and 4 (Proficient and Advanced Honors)?
Proficient and Advance Dance will be a yearlong course. You will need to register for both Proficient and Advanced Dance Honors. The registration system needs you to register for both sections of dance. After you register, I will work with Student Services to assign you to the correct course. We will have to manually fix everyone registering for either Proficient or Advanced. You will have either proficient or advanced both semesters. To progress into Advanced Dance Honors, you must complete an audition or the Proficient level with a 90% or above. We structure these classes as a yearlong course because it allows us to offer you honors credit. We will use the fall to learn the curriculum and the spring to work on an honors project and honors concert. Students in these courses perform in both concerts.
