The Dance Department is committed to supporting students to discover more about themselves as artists and as people through the lens for Dance. Within our Dance courses, students will learn different dance styles, to train physically through conditioning, cardio and stretching, discover the power of a community, and to develop further self-confidence, self-awareness and well-being.
The phrase “Dance is for Everyone!” is our philosophy and we mean every word of it!
Taking Dance at Huron
We have one large main dance studio equipped with high tech sound, barres, mirrors, spotlights and a sprung floor. In addition, students have access to our Greenhouse Theatre, which includes professional lighting and sound boards and an intimate performing stage. Students will have their studies richly complimented through numerous workshops with guest artists and multiple field trips in an attempt to tie academic learning and studio practice with real life applications. As an elective, many students step into our studio with no formal dance training and they decide to continue to explore Dance throughout their four years at Huron. These Dance experiences become a memorable part of the Huron journey.

Huron is home to one of four regional arts programs in our board for students who want to immerse themselves in the arts experience. Entrance is by application and audition.
