Dance at Gaiser Middle School is part of our physical education program.
Our 6th grade students take 1/3 of the school year in dance and 2/3 in regular physical education. During the dance segment, students aretaught movements and steps and encouraged to pursue creativeexpression using their own movement ideas.

The 7th and 8th grade students can choose between dance or physical education.
Dance begins during the second trimester and continues to the end of the school year. Students are introduced to more steps and movements and the concepts are expanded upon in preparation for the high school Arts WASL. The best assignments may be taken on tour of our elementary schools in the spring.

Mrs. Fogarty is a certificated health and physical education teacher who has
many years of dance training in several dance styles and 20 years of
professional performance experience.
