• Dance Classes

  Multiple classes provide learning opportunities for beginner to advanced level dancers.  Dance classes explore ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, tap, and hip-hop techniques. Throughout the beginner to advanced level courses, dancers will study dance history, explore cultural dances, learn proper dance critique, gain skills in pedagogy, and grow in the craft of choreography. Healthy and positive body awareness is emphasized at every level through the use of dance anatomy and kinesiology in concert with conditioning and injury prevention. Our goal is to not only train dancers but to build an appreciation for the artform of dance.

• Silver Spurs Drill Team

  The Silver Spurs Drill Team program promotes school spirit through dance at football games, pep rallies, and other campus events. The HC drill team program is designed to allow students to develop drill team dance skills, leadership skills, and performance etiquette. The Silver Spurs are a team of intermediate—to advanced-level dancers specializing in precision jazz. While the Silver Spurs compete once a year with Crowd Pleasers, the program focuses on training well-rounded dance performers, emphasizing dance as an art form.  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

• DOXA Dance Company

  DOXA Dance Company is a pre-professional, performance-based contemporary dance company that emphasizes excellence in dance through a fine arts lens. DOXA members are given opportunities to refine their technique and build on their performance skills through various opportunities throughout the school year, such as fine arts concerts, community gatherings, and our annual Spring Dance Concert. The DOXA program specializes in developing the student’s choreographic voice, with opportunities for creating both group and solo works by students throughout the year. DOXA dancers are trained in dance pedagogy, allowing them to perform dance leadership roles across campus programs, such as student choreographers and dance captains for the HC Theatrework’s musicals and drill team dance officers. Dancers have the opportunity to work with professional guest artists and choreographers from the greater Houston area, as well as attend injury prevention workshops with Houston Methodist. DOXA rehearsals are held during the school day, allowing dancers to be involved in other after-school activities and home studio programs. The DOXA Dance Company is a place for elite dancers to continue their training and expand their skills as dance leaders.
