Dance
The success of a well-rounded student is often balanced on athleticism and grace, and we foster both here in the Fine Arts Dance Department of Houston Christian High School.
Houston Christian encourages growth in strength, flexibility, technique, performance, and confidence through a multi-discipline and cumulative approach to dance education. Through our program, dancers gain the knowledge and ability to utilize movement in a practical day-to-day setting along with a variety of performance opportunities, including dance concerts, musicals, conventions, and chapel. Dancers of all skill levels will find a place to be challenged and inspired to learn how to move!
Brown Family Dance Studio
Houston Christian dance activities are all held on campus in the Brown Family Dance Studio. Our dance studio is a beautiful and spacious facility built with the safety and education of our students in mind. Equipped with sprung floors, installed in consultation with the Houston Ballet, this state-of-the-art studio also boasts an audio-visual and recording system, along with wall-mounted and portable ballet barres.

Dance Classes
Multiple classes provide opportunities for beginner to advanced level dancers. Dance courses explore ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, tap, and hip hop techniques. Additionally, we emphasize healthy and positive body awareness by emphasizing dance anatomy and kinesiology in concert with conditioning and injury prevention. We keep our students abreast of the modern trends in dance while at the same time building an appreciation for the history of dance. We also teach the fundamentals of choreography and provide an opportunity for our students to showcase their skills in our annual Spring Dance Concert. -
