Dance and Dancemaking - 90 minutes

The Dance and Dancemaking workshops are an exciting and informative experience for secondary students. Through the course of this workshop, students will make and perform their own dances.
Engaged in simple yet effective workshop processes, participants explore basic movement ideas – gesture, locomotion, elevation, falls, stillness – while working in small groups to explore spatial pathways, levels, shapes, and movement dynamics.
A discussion of safe dance practice will be included as well as warm up and cool down. With a range of dynamic music, themes and imagery to stimulate and engage secondary students, before you know it, they’ll all be dancing!
Dance and Dancemaking are also available in a 60 minute format.
