The Dance Extension In-School Workshop program may support virtual participation from students, if interested. Zoom or other available technology can be used for the virtual learning and participation. Will work closely with teachers to plan and coordinate the necessary details.
The Dance Extension In-School Workshop program offers students and teachers an opportunity to experience and explore Chinese dances packaged with history, geography, arts and culture of China. Each ethnic dance brings different and unique dance steps and styles among the 56 ethnic groups influenced by each group"s own traditions and customs. Programs can be designed along with a teacher"s objective as an extension to learning in a subject area, Chinese festival celebrations, after school programs, or simply a celebration of diversity with the global language of dance. Our program will provide necessary props associated with a particular dance. As an optional add-on arts feature if interested, students can create their own dance props (e.g. handkerchiefs, chopsticks, ribbons, jingle bracelets) as a hands-on cultural craft activity prior to learning a dance with their own hand-made props. Dances available for selection include, but not limited to, Lion Dance, Ribbon Dance, Tibetan Dance, various styles of Fan Dances, Mongolian Chopstick Dance, Tribal Mountain Dance, and Miao Dance. Colorful and culturally rich costumes and the related historical, geographical, and cultural background will be presented along with the selected ethnic dances. Students will learn more complex dance movements and concepts with an appreciation of innovation and tradition. Students will listen and follow instructions to learn and perform the dance steps, patterns, and movements according to music and rhythm. Will have Q&A at the end of the program to stimulate ideas generation and validate learning of program objectives. |
