Regional Arts Program

Four disciplines of art are hosted at Mayfield: drama, dance, music, and visual arts.[2] Each has its own night to showcase the talents of the students at a junior (grades 9 and 10) and senior (grades 11 and 12) level. Their improv team also competes in various National competitions. Jazz, classical, and alternative music styles are offered.

Dance Program

Mayfield's dance program, part of the Regional Arts Program, accepts 50-60 students per year for the four-year program. It includes theoretical (dance history, culture, important figures in the dance world, the dance industry and different styles of dance) and practical components about the program. The program focuses primarily on classical ballet and modern dance; however, to ensure students are exposed to other styles of dance, the program brings in experienced instructors to hold workshops a few times per semester. In this way, students are able to learn important dance technique while experiencing other styles of dance such as jazz, hip hop, ballroom styles, and many other styles of dance from around the world.

Every year, the department prepares a winter dance production. Each year explores a different winter related theme but every other year, the department performs The Nutcracker. The department also prepares a spring show in May and themes for this show can vary greatly. Although during the winter show students are able to show off their dancing talent, during the May show, students are able to choreograph their own pieces and audition them into the show. Therefore, the show includes teacher and student choreography. Furthermore, the May show is largely organized by the Grade 12 students as their final leadership project.
