School & Community Virtual Workshops*
Teachers, School Staff, and Community Organizers, we see you navigating challenging
territory and rising to the new challenges of the school year. We want to support you with
our most flexible options! You can customize content, date, time, and length of any of our
workshops. You can even request something new!
Overview
Full Class:
Ex: Moving Matter (1st grade CDE Science Standard): “Freeze like a popsicle! Now melt like a popsicle on a hot summer day!” Students will use creative movement and the dance concept of Flow (bound and free) to embody different states of matter and the transitions between them before creating their own solid/liquid dance.
Half Day:
(Half) Day of Dance - multiple workshops in one with breaks for team building/developing social-emotional skills (starting at $7/student)
Movement Breaks (1-8 minute videos):
Ex: BrainDance, a fun full body-brain exercise based on developmental movement patterns that humans move through in the first year of life helping to integrate reflexes that are the foundation for healthy brain development and fill in missing gaps in our sensory-motor system.
