I can understand the basics of hip hop dance. I can understand racial justice. I can choreograph to express feelings and ideas.
After doing a brief warm up, Dimensional Dancer Savana Jones and Dimensional Dance Director Ruth Lewis will teach the students some basics of hip hop and choreography. We will go over the pillars of racial justice and then choreograph a group piece about the poem I Rise by Maya Angelou. It does not necessarily have to be this poem as the teacher can choose a different story or poem to make the piece about. Younger students will be provided a little more guidance for choreographic devices.
