Poetry Moves
Connecting Dance and Literacy
Creative Writing meets Creative Dance Making
Poetry Moves is a uniquely creative experience blending Creative Writing with Creative Dance Making. Each Poetry Moves experience includes stretching, movement games, vocabulary building, and dance explorations inspired by our own poetry and short story compositions. Students explore a variety of movement styles and writing styles in a fun, positive, creative environment. Poetry and Stories jump off the written page and transform into moving masterpieces as our literacy and creativity work in partnership as one.
Dance and Literacy come together with each carefully selected theme, Creative Writing prompts, and Creative Dance structures.
Dance Improv
Express yourself through dance
Dance improvisation is the process of creating movement without any pre-planning of steps or prepared choreography. These spontaneous explorations create authentic and sometimes surprisingly magical dances. Improvised dance allows us to express ourselves, discover new ways of moving, develop body-mind-spirit connectivity, encourage a stronger positive self-image, and have fun.
