To pass, a student must attend class and rehearsals cooperatively, demonstrate basic physical and interpretive dance skills, and show an awareness of stylistic qualities in their performance. To receive merit, a student must demonstrate discipline, accurate skills application, assured use of style, and review their own performance strengths and weaknesses with reasoning.
