Dance Department Philosophy

The philosophy of the Dance Department is to provide a well rounded dance education with a technical foundation that challenges students physically, artistically and intellectually; and to prepare students for collegiate and professional careers in dance and other related professions. Our goal is to encourage students to become more involved in the growth of their community - in their school culture and beyond - and to encourage them to find ways to create change through the movement.

Core Values: We value and believe

  • that a strong work ethic, positive attitude and high standards will help every student improve.

  • that every student will respect himself/herself and their peers.

  • that every dance student will be successful in their own way.

  • that we should behave in a manner that encourages community, trust, integrity and pride in what we do.

  • every student has a responsibility to represent the Dance Department, Diamond Hill Jarvis High School, FWISD, and the city of Fort Worth in a way that is honorable and appropriate.
