In the Gym is best, we need room. Or a large room with open space.
I can create individually and with other students in a team. I can make exercise artistic, creative, and fun. I can apply what I learned in this program to future creative endeavors.
"ZUMBA GOLD FOR YOUNG AND OLD" (ZGYO) is a twist on the highly successful fitness programming. Leslie Frances Mansellle, a Zumba Gold instructor, utilizes this version of Zumba designed for the senior market, with inter-generational groups. ZGYO incorporates creative movement and choreography, which gives participants an avenue to present their own ideas and opens the door for an exercise in interaction, persuasion, and leadership creating a student generated, patterned event.

Ms. Manselle will conduct two dance/exercise routines. She will then invite some student leaders to create their own moves, which the class repeats. The moves are strung together in a "˜movement-scape."

Next, groups of students create patterns of movements within a musical time signature (4 or 8-beat) that can be mathematically distributed and mapped. The patterns are strung together and performed in sequence to create a Flash Mob routine. Dance and exercise movements follow the structure of music per the time signature by using math. For example, two 4-beat measures equal one 8-beat count in dance, or 2 x 4 = 8. If we lay out a four 8-beat dance count, we could express it as 4 x 8 = 32 or as 2 x 4 x 4 = 32 using the distribution property in math.

Teachers are required to be present during the entire session.
Parents if present, may join in with the class.

Grade 4

Grade 4 Mathematics O.A Standard: Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Generate and analyze patterns. Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself.
PE Standard 5: The physically literate individual recognizes the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction.
Grade 4: Dance: Creating: Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. A. Identify ideas for choreography generated from a variety of stimuli (for example Music/Sound, text, objects, images, notation, observed dance, experiences).
Grade 4: Dance: Creating: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. A. Manipulate or modify choreographic devices to expand movement possibilities and create a variety of movement patterns and structures. Discuss movement choices.

Grade 5

Grade 5 Mathematics O.A Standard: Operations and Algebraic Thinking. Analyze patterns and relationships: Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns.
PE Standard 5: The physically literate individual recognizes the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction.
Grade 5: Dance: Creating: Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. A. Build content for choreography using several stimuli (for example Music/Sound, text, objects, images, notation, observed dance, experiences, literary forms, natural phenomena, current news, social events).
Grade 5: Dance: Creating: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. A. Manipulate or modify choreographic devices to expand choreographic possibilities and develop a main idea. Explain reasons for movement choices.
