THIS IS A REPEAT SESSION OF JANUARY 25TH DANCE DECODED WORKSHOP*

Does the thought of teaching the dance portion of the curriculum cause you avoidance, inward groans or putting on videos of “Just Dance” or “Go Noodle”. Maybe you can teach it, but wish you had stronger skills? How would you feel if you could truly understand dance, and actually cover it all without feeling overwhelmed? Whether you are a grade teacher or a Phys Ed specialist, you will walk away with a true appreciation of music, movement and how to nail each of the Outcome A requirements for Dance, along with several Outcome B, C and D in a way that is ready to use!
This 6 hour course will be taught in layers to help you to understand the building blocks of music, how to hear it, move to it, and teach it to children and teens. The next layer is learning common movements, and setting them to music. This year’s focus style will be hip-hop/top 40. You will walk away with 3 songs of choreography ready to teach, along with the skills needed to develop your own choreography. You will be able to teach your students to be choreographers and perform like the stars you know they are!
This session will involve well… dancing, so please come with a desire to have fun, and wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes. Please bring a filled water bottle and yes, coffee, if that will put pep in your step!

This workshop is perfect if you:
Are a Phys Ed specialist
Are teacher who teaches PE
Are teacher who covers both music & PE and wish to blend the concepts
Want new ideas for indoor recesses and in-classroom PA
Want a new, unique skill set
Just want a fieldtrip, a day of fun and some new ideas
