Water Cycle Dances

The Juniors have been working on an in-depth study of the water cycle and how it can be represented through dance. In the videos you will see the final compositions created by Juniors C. After watching a video about the water cycle, students brainstormed ways to show the water cycle through movement. They then shared "movement drafts" of their dances with their classmates and received helpful feedback about the choreography. Finally we added just the right music to compliment the movement.

First Grade Shape Study

The Primes recently choreographed dances based on asymmetric and symmetric shapes. First they brainstormed and drew six shapes for each category and then chose their favorite ones to create a dance. Please click on the following link to see First Grade perform their shape dances.

Juniors D Space Dance Study

Juniors D students have been studying different ways to alter their choreography by changing the space surrounding the dance.  This could mean the physical space they are dancing in, as well as the space between each dancer or movement.  In the assignments you will see students created a 6-8 count dance phrase (about 1 minute) and then altered an aspect of the "space."  Please click on the following link to view the dances.
