Connections to Asia: A Cultural Dance Adventure Workshop offers an instructional dance workshop to students for them to experience and explore Asian or Chinese dances packaged with history, geography, arts and culture of Asia. Each ethnic dance brings different and unique dance steps and styles influenced by each group's own traditions and customs.
Our program will start off with a solo dance performance by the arts provider, so the students get to watch an authentic Asian ethnic dance. Followed by a display and presentation of colorful and culturally rich costumes to help students understand the culture and customs of different ethnic groups. Students will then learn some basic dance movements and concepts with an appreciation of innovation and traditions. Students will listen and follow instructions to learn and present 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.
Our program will provide necessary props associated with a particular dance. Dances available for selection include, but not limited to, Ribbon Dance, Kung Fu Fan Dance, Mongolian Chopstick Dance, and Tribal Mountain Dance.
