I can listen to and identify different kinds of Afro Beat music. I can work with friends to teach and learn new moves to form a new dance. I can tell you new things about different cultures and also point out similarities and differences between that new culture and mine. |

On day one of the program I introduce myself and the concept of Afro Beat through a brief discussion During this discussion I get a feel for who the students are and what they know. I also allow the students to interact with me and ask questions. Once that's all done we stretch and I introduce the material. Once I see they have a grasp of the moves, I split them up into groups of usually 3 or 4.I then have each student pick their favorite move and with their group members come up with their own routine using each student's favorite move, which they end up performing for their peers during the last 10 minutes of class
On day Two we start off with a brief review of day one and discussion on how they feel and open the floor for any questions they may have. I have the students get back into their groups and go over their dances. Once they have reviewed what they did the day before I merge the groups into 3 or 4 larger groups and have them work on combining what they have into a new bigger piece. During this portion we work on different variations of the dance moves, adapting them to bigger groups ,teaching others the moves and having the students use their own creativity to come up with their own Afro Beat moves. The different groups get to perform their pieces for their peers at the end of the class and get to make observations on how their dances have evolved. That concludes the workshop. Depending on grade level the moves are simpler or more complex and our groups are smaller the younger the students. |
