Through games, choreography, and improvisations they explore themes of body, energy, space, time, and relationship. They learn the muscles and bones of the body that are important to dance and the alignment of the body. Poetry, creative writing and discussions about verbs, adverbs, and adjectives help deepen their understanding about dance. Noticing deeply, making connections, embodying through art making, and recognizing patterns allow students to work on their own or in groups to create dance compositions. Posture, focus and respect are ongoing foundational values of dance class.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
