About the Program

Hoover’s Dance Department is a jazz based program that includes study in tap, hip-hop, ballet, lyrical, and character dance. Our exploratory wheel/Conservatory class for 6th graders is an exciting new project, giving students their first taste of dance and then the opportunity to specialize in dance their second semester if they so chose.

Along with Beginning and Intermediate dance classes, the Dance Department also boasts the award-winning Dance Evolution, an advanced performance group that competes against other schools in the area as well as performs in many extra curricular events including Magic Music Days at Disneyland. All level classes and the second semester Conservatory classes perform in two dance concerts held in the Historic Hoover Theatre. Look for these events in January and May. They are not to be missed!

Hoover Middle School offers 5 classes a day:

• Beginning Dance

• Intermediate Dance - by placement

• Intermediate/Advanced Dance - by placement

• Dance Evolution Team - by audition only

Each year the dance program provides opportunities for students to participate in two dance concert productions and students are also offered the opportunity to learn from guest instructors to enhance their learning of different dance genres.
