Great job everyone on an excellent Showcase!!! I am so proud of all of you. You have all worked hard this semester and learned A LOT! We covered a lot of different genres and you all rose to the challenge and proved yourselves. I hope you are proud of all that you have accomplished this semester, because you should be! I know I am :)

Welcome to Dance!
Hi Everyone and Welcome to Dance!
Whether you have prior dance experience or are just beginning your journey into the dance arena, I would like to thank you for enrolling in this class. It is because of your interest that we are able to offer this class at LA Matheson and I couldn't be happier!
This blog will be used to post important information, notices and reminders about class, so please make a habit of checking it regularly. Since we won't be in a traditional classroom or use a lot of paper and pencils, it may be easy to forget that this this is still a regular class for a mark and credit! I will do my best to give you verbal reminders in class each day and update this website weekly! Please check this site regularly for information and updates. You may also find my email address on this website if you have any questions or need to ask/tell me something.
This semester we will look at many different genres of dance to give you a broad range of experience. We will be covering:
You can also expect to PERFORM in the semester-end Dance Showcase in January 2017! All in all it will be a very busy and exciting semester so be prepared, be present everyday, and put your best foot forward!
IMPORTANT
I have created a special and totally PRIVATE Dance Site for class videos. I'll explain this in class, but I have posted the link on the right-hand side of this page under "Important Links" for easy access since it is an unlisted site. More on this in the days to come!

Semester II- March 2016
Hello and Welcome Everyone!
I am very pleased to be back from my Maternity Leave and to be back at LA Matheson. I look forward to teaching you for the rest of the semester.
Now that I am back, it is important that we take a step back and as I said in class, "Press the Reset Button". My expectations in class are likely going to be different than that of your previous TOC. So starting class with me, let's come in with an open-mind and heart and be ready to work hard and have fun!
We will be reviewing and restarting your Dance Journals, doing Student-led Warm-Ups, starting Jazz, doing Contemporary and then last but not least, Hip Hop! If time-allows and class behavior and attendance permits, we may have in professional guest choreographers as well.
Please check back on this site regularly for reminders or links to my Private, Student Dance Website. I have posted the link on the right-hand side of this page under "Important Links". Please visit it regularly.
Please get your Media Consent forms signed by your parents and returned to me by FRIDAY APRIL 8th so that we can start using the site as soon as possible. DO NOT SHARE YOUR CLASS PASSWORD.
See you in class, changed, on time and ready to DANCE!!!!

Hello and Welcome Everyone!
Thank you for expressing an interest in Dance! I'm really looking forward to this semester.
Please explore this webpage for information on the class and check back regularly for important updates.
I sincerely hope the strike will not set us too far behind. It may mean however that we are forced to skip a unit or two of dance Ex: ballet and tap :( This is very unfortunate, but we will definitely pack in as much as possible in the remaining months of this semester!
Please review the course outlines carefully and BE PREPARED for class each day. That means:

"Hi Girls... and Sunjay"! :)
Well, this will sadly be my last post for Dance 10 this semester. As you know, I'm going off on my mat leave soon and this week will be my last week. I am really sorry that the timing worked out this way that I have to leave part-way through the course. At the same time though I am just grateful that I got to be with you for as long as I have, pregnant and all!!! I don't know about you all, but I've had a great time teaching you dance and hope you've enjoyed the course thus far. I wish you all the very best in the rest of the course and hope that you'll recommend Dance 10 to other students next year, and that if there is a Dance 11 offered in the second semester (when I'm back full time), that you'll take it!! I think we've got a great thing started here, and look forward to building a full program where we can do more active performances within the school! Keep an open mind, keep stretching, keep active, and keep on practicing, as the old adage "Practice makes perfect" is 100% true! All the best everyone and please keep dancing!!!
Take care,
-Ms.Sundin :)

Oct.29th - Nov.2nd
Hey Everybody,
This week in the spirit of Halloween we will be taking some of the focus off of Hip Hop to learn the Michael Jackson Thriller Dance! Monday-Wednesday class will be held in the cafeteria area due to the Haunted House in the Drama Theatre. Please go there directly after you have changed. We will be learning the dance by watching the original MJ music video and a great online dance tutorial!
Don't worry- we will also sneak in some practice time for our hip hop routine!
On Thursday we will be starting a short unit on Tap dance! Yes- I've got the set of tap shoes for you all to try! You will love it so be ready to make good use of our double block on Thursday!
This will be a fun week so be on time and read to DANCE!!! :D
Below you will find the links to the 3 videos we will be watching this week!
