Come make your own dances! In this class, students will work together (in groups and pairs) to make original dances. They will learn the process of choreographing a dance from start to finish: choosing the music, deciding on a theme or story, creating steps through improvisation, sequencing steps, and finally performing. The six weeks will culminate in a small showcase for families during the last class, where students will show off their creative work! No dance experience needed. For ages 8-11.
