SCHOOL TEACHER WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

This active workshop provides a foundational framework for teachers to implement a student-centered and physically-active approach to teaching dance in a curriculum-based setting for Health and Physical Education and Dance/Arts Curricula. Participants will develop an understanding of the specific movements that characterize various dance styles (Hip Hop, African, Urban, Bollywood, Banghra, Old Skool, Jazz, Lyrial, Breakdancing etc.). Participants will also understand how to integrate Fundamental Movement Skills in different styles of dance and how to use music to stylize each genre. Teachers will learn to act as facilitators and to maximize participation and fun by learning activities that optimize student engagement, physical activity, positive thinking, group work, and creative thinking skills.

 

Workshop participants receive handouts with lesson plan, curriculum links, and a 25-song playlist with moves to get student ACTIVE!
