ORCHIDS Dance Curriculum(ODC)- Secondary:
The Dance curriculum for the Secondary classes of Grade V to X takes a step forward to advanced training as per the age group being covered in the curriculum. Each dance form and activity has been allocated different weeks and broken down into steps in order to cover every aspect of every form and take out the best of learnings that we have to grasp. The Class structure covers everything from warm up, isolation, footwork etc to flexibility cooldowns. The similar structure is formed for every dance form. We have taken into account each element of dance, Body / Action / Space / Energy / Relationships. The last week counts for a showcase week, where all the efforts are put to presentation in Mega Events.

My Dance Book is an initiative for all to jot down their experiences and learnings as reflections.

Our Dance curriculum is unique for each age group and each dance form. We move forward with proper assessments and a strategize curriculum, always ready to be upgraded with the latest trends and teaching methods with the help of our highly trained professionals.

Dance rooms
We have designated dance rooms as comfortable space, and dance teachers to help our students express their feelings through movement. We have various talent events throughout the year that allow our students to explore their interests and aim for better challenges.
