#1: Birthday Chance DanceDance Is Home is back and focusing on lessons for getting to know new and returning students while we continue to embrace our unique dance spaces. Personal stories will drive each lesson and inspire future topics, playlists, and culturally relevant teaching.
Distance learning has inspired me to organize each unit with activities that stand on their own but can be combined into a multi-layered piece. The first unit will focus on birthdays. We all have one. The dates, astrology signs, stories, and traditions create a fun platform for dance making and conversation. I’m looking forward to sharing this new series. Let’s celebrate our special day with some dance making during #distancelearning Project #1: Birthday Chance Dance Still at home, birthday celebrations continue. In your house: Lesson 1:
