Dance

Dance is the body communicating through patterns of movement and stillness. Creative dance combines the mastery of movement with the artistry of expression. When we teach dance concepts (not dance steps) we help students learn how to express themselves through a unique language. This way of knowing the world and expressing oneself opens up ways "to solve problems, express feelings, cooperate, accept and value individual differences, gain an awareness of their own and other's cultures and engage in an activity that increases self esteem."
