High School for Violin and Dance

The High School for Violin and Dance (HSVD) is one of four schools on the Morris Educational Campus. HSVD offers every student classes in violin and modern dance. No prior experience is necessary, but students are expected to have a serious interest in the two performing arts and be ready to participate in intensive training in daily classes. With consistent practice, our students achieve competence, confidence, good citizenship, and maturity - qualities that are the foundation for success in high school. There are culminating violin and dance performances at the end of the school year.

• Students take 55-minute group lessons in violin and dance three to five times a week. In dance, students learn the fundamental positions and movements of classical and modern dance. In violin, students learn the foundations of music theory and technique.
