YOUTH
In these residencies, students learn the Elements of Dance (Body Action Space Time Energy) as they develop skills related to the experiencing, making, and performing of dance. These classes inspire students to create and understand dance, collaborate with their peers, and find joy in movement. Teaching artists can implement cross-curricular lesson planning. Residencies can be built to meet the needs of the school and/or participants.
