Workshop Logistics
Each class or group (an average of 35-45 students) receives three workshops of 40-50 minutes each and will learn three to five dances. Usually, each class/group will prepare two of these dances for the performance which will be held on the last day of your school’s dance program.
The performance is a great way for students to showcase their new dance skills to their parents and the school community while meeting part of the curriculum requirements! It is a magical moment which is greatly appreciated from the schools we’re working with.
