DOMAIN DANCE® LEVELS I-VI

Five Domains Of Dance:

Specific Turns
Specific Jumps
Flexibility Training
Performance Value
Choreography

Curriculum based on a guided list of skills modified by AADI members, added to for each level plus Choreography By Design® formations and transitions. By designing a new dance subject genre called DOMAIN DANCE® based on traditional jazz and ballet, dance students are introduced to a back-to-basics concept of student dance achievement. Replacing expensive costuming, entry fees, and travel expenses, this new model is offered in the 48 contiguous US states in each county of a state, allowing for multiple venues each weekend or as an after-school activity.

LEVELS AND CLASSIFICATIONS

Levels are determined by what dance skills, based on the four domains of dance, are taught in the DANCE CLASSROOM®. Rubrics are available for each skill level that can be reviewed by parents and students quarterly. Skills that are on each level are pre-determined by us and the members of AADI via bi-annual review.

There are two routine components to each team entry, a compulsory and a creative routine. Compulsory routines are taught at DANCE CLASSROOM®

conventions creative routines are based on a music designation for example Broadway, movie music etc, There is only one type of dance not multiple dance subject genre, DOMAIN DANCE ®.
