Directions and actions and popcorn, oh my!

Students from kindergarten and first grade have been exploring rhythm in dance and have been busy creating 'Echo Dances' and 'Popcorn Dances'! Did you know you could make shapes like popcorn? Big & fluffy, burnt & angular, and round kernels. We are learning how to POP on counts to create an accent!





Second and third graders are learning how to make partner dances with connections and directions. We have also started to create a dance based on the poem, "Riding the Subway Train". Can you find the actions words we used for movement inspiration?
