The workshops serves as an excellent framework to: teach students about dance forms in historical and cultural context; building vocabulary; to use the vocabulary of emotions and feelings to identify real life situations; and to research the counties and people by learning the fundamental movements of the traditional dances. We apply the principles of CLOSE reading to the interpretation of text and use that approach and standards of dance pedagogy to teach across skill and grade levels. Stretching for Life's primary goal is for the participants to learn the basics of movement and to enjoy dancing, the program also represents an opportunity to expose children to diverse cultures, their music, movement, sequential learning, and fundamental dance technique.
