What is June Session?
During June, students in grades 8-12 (grade 7 as permitted) may design their own individualized program of performing and production arts study for as little as 90 minutes a day, up to a full day of 6 classes. Taught by professional artists/teachers from around the nation, these classes offer students opportunities to explore the arts. With nearly 50 beginning to advanced classes to choose from, students can expand their horizons by trying something new in one of our beginner’s courses or challenge themselves with an advanced class. Whatever your interest, Trollwood has a class just for you!
Recommendations for Registration:
Trollwood students benefit the most when they try a variety of classes. While they may be tempted to focus their class schedule in a specific discipline, it is best to acquire a diverse arts background so students may become well-rounded performers and/or technicians.
For example, to be a proficient dancer, one should not only know how to execute the technique of the dance, but also be able to project the dramatic significance of it (acting classes), understand the rhythms and sounds (music classes), and be sensitive to the stage setting, lights, etc. (tech theatre classes). A broad understanding of performing and production arts can help artists realize their creative goals. For this reason, we encourage students to enroll in a variety of performing and production arts classes. If you have questions about appropriate class selection, contact the Program Coordinator or Registrar at (701) 241-4799.
Class Placement Verification Day
Upper Level Skill Placement Verification Sessions will be held Tuesday, June 9, 1:00-4:00 pm, Trollwood Park.
All students who are enrolling in specified level 2 or above courses (see level designations on the course list) in dance, theatre, or vocal music are REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE in the class placement verification process.
In order for students to learn as much as possible in their classes at Trollwood, instructors will assess the skill level of each participant. With this information, teachers will verify that each class is composed of students at a similar skill level to maximize the learning experience. This placement process ensures that individual and group advancement will occur at the most effective pace.
All June Session students should report to Trollwood’s Student Orientation Session on Monday, June 9 at 10:00 am following a lunch break at the close of placement verification activities.
The Plaza Café (Trollwood’s lunch program) will serve lunch this day.
If there are any level modifications to a student’s schedule, based upon the Placement Verification, the student will be notified via phone on Monday, June 9 by 9:00 pm. If a student is not contacted, their course choices are appropriate for their skill level.
All June Session Class begins Tuesday, June 10.
