A Hillsborough County Public School
PV Dance Department
We offer comprehensive dance instruction in the following areas:
Where do we perform?
Dance students perform throughout the year at school-wide events, showcases, and special events. In the fall of 2024, the dance classrooms were renovated with brand new marley spring flooring. We also host guest artists with various dance backgrounds to give students the "masterclass" experience.
Does my student need prior dance experience?
No, we train students at all levels, from your first pair of jazz shoes to pointe.
Do you have to dress out?
Yes, the dance teachers require dancers to dress-out for class, including appropriate shoes. Attire is at the instructor's discretion.
What about the boys?
Boys love dance too!
How do students participate?
All 6th grade students have the option to take dance as their PE elective.
7th & 8th grade students can audition for the Dance Performance Team, or continue their dance training at the intermediate level.
