Monday: Conditioning Circuit Tuesday/Wednesday: Conditioning, Brain Dance & Yoga Thursday/Friday: Brain Dance & Technique Welcome to my new students! You are in for a great semester of moving and creating. Your first assignment is to comment on this blog post include your name and class period, your current favorite song, and one thing you really want to get out of this class. I am so excited for all our plans, and I hope you are too!
OK dancers, here is the photo that you will use as inspiration for your original phrase (phrase A), and here is the assignment sheet. I will also put both on the document page.
I just want to let all dancers and parents know how wonderful everything went at the concert. I am so proud of all my dancers. GREAT WORK!!!!
This week we will be finishing up our unit on ENERGY. The students will be learning a movement phrase that incorporates all 9 energy qualities. We will practice each energy quality so it is clearly different from the others. On Wednesday we will do peer evaluations on the performance of the phrase and energy qualities, and on Thursday and Friday we will perform the phrase in groups. I hope that everyone has a very enjoyable winter vacation, and I look forward to seeing you all again in the new year. I can't believe it we only have 3 school weeks to work on our choreography. Our concert has crept up on us. So this week we will work on getting our choreography finished. Everyone it is your homework to practice the choreography at home!
Dear parents and students,
