Dance is an important part of the curriculum at HAB. Throughout the year, each dance lesson includes performance skills, dance history, gymnastics and fitness – all taught in HAB's dance studio with sprung floor and full length mirror walls.
HAB Dance Company gives students a chance to take their love of dance to the next level, with benefits that extend across school life. “Amongst out Year 9 students, who have been in the company for three years, there has been a huge improvement in terms of social skills and general academic results because of the discipline emphasised in each rehearsal,” says Ms Abraham.
