Movement Matters: Let's Dance!

Program description

In this workshop, provided by the Van Wezel Education and Community Education Department and led by teaching artist, Deb Lombard, students experiment with rhythm, tempo, shapes, and levels while developing locomotive skills and creative expression. They explore concepts such as space, time, and energy through creative movement activities.

What are the benefits of getting students up and moving?

  1. As students return to the content, the brain is able to refocus
  2. Movement helps to develop social skills, which are important for connecting to comprehension and critical thinking skills
  3. Realigning the body/brain connection helps to re-energize learning

21st Century Skills: Collaboration, Communication, Creativity and Innovation, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
