Christian Creative Dance Classes for Children and Teens
VISION:
The vision for these classes is that seeds of God's life-giving Word would be sown into the hearts of young people through the language of dance and movement, growing and bearing fruit so that they demonstrate the character of Christ as worshippers in Spirit and truth, both as expressed in dance and throughout their ordinary days. The hope is that they would grow in all areas-spiritually, cognitively, socially, emotionally, and in physical training through the powerful combination of dance concept exploration and skill development mixed with Biblical encouragement and group interaction, all of which they will receive in these classes.
THEME for 2013-2014: The Words of Jesus
Last year we focused on the WORD of God. The year before that was the NAMES of God. This year we are focusing on the things Jesus said and did when He walked the earth.
Class Descriptions:*Class A: Awe
Each week students will do dance concept exploration exercises, practice movement skills, and interact with the Bible in fun ways, creating their own mini-pieces. (Ages 5-6ish) Class B: Beauty Weekly classes consist of exploring movement concepts through fun activities, practicing dance skills, studying the Bible in creative ways and sharing and showing dances. (Ages 7-8ish) Class C: Celebration Students will grow in strength, flexibility, balance, and grace through warm-up technique exercises (modern & ballet-based). They will explore a different dance concept weekly and interact creatively with the Scriptures with time to create and share their choreography and improvisations. (Ages 9-10ish) Class D: Delight Students will continue to improve their dance technique during warm-up exercises (modern & ballet-based) and skill development in the center. They will expand their movement repertoire through the weekly dance concept explorations and have opportunities to work as individuals or groups to create choreography or improvisations and show them for feedback. Some of these may come out of their responses to the Word in the discovery Bible study portion of the class, where students will have opportunities to facilitate the group discussion. (Ages 11-14ish) *Please talk with Holly with questions regarding placement of student. Dance Concepts=place, pathway, level, direction, relationships, speed, rhythm, energy, weight, direction, flow, balance, etc. |
