This one-time class class will alternate between learning kid-friendly cultural concepts in a non-religious way, and dancing to upbeat Bollywood music. We will learn a short dance and basics of Holi - how it is celebrated in India in a fun & engaging way via story time, and colorful visuals of the celebrations. My approach to teaching is very interactive. I break down steps in a way that is easy for learners to relate to things they see & activities they do everyday. I also provide cultural context to the moves to make learning more meaningful. There is no prior experience required. Learners from all backgrounds are welcome. You do not need to have any prior knowledge about India, or Indian festivals.
Learning Goals
The main goal of this class is to get kids excited about dance, celebrating festivals & learning about different cultures. We will learn 4-5 moves to upbeat Bollywood music along with understanding the significance of the festival of Holi - which symbolizes the victory of good over evil and welcomes the onset of Spring!
The class also aims at achieving basic coordination, rhythm, and memory. Younger kids will be able to perform the dance with help, older kids should be able to dance by themselves!
