In this one time meeting, students will get moving to a popular Halloween song: The Monster Mash! We will begin class with a brief warm up to wake up our bodies and feel out the space, and then move on to learning a beginner musical theatre dance combination set to about 45 seconds of the song. Dance steps may include slides, turns, improvising poses, and many more. We will take a small water and brain break at the halfway point and do a brief free dance to explore our own movement before returning to learning the prepared choreography. In the last few minutes of class, we will have a final performance of our dance combination (anyone at home is welcome to watch if the student wishes!). Students can also have their Halloween costume or a spooky style costume accessible for our final performance!
Learning Goals
By the end of our session, students will have a new knowledge of different types of beginner dance steps used in traditional musical theater choreography, as well as how to piece together different portions of a combination. They might also learn a new song!

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a baby, preschool, and elementary theatre and music teacher, I have worked with students ages 5 months to 12 years in this format. I believe that moving our bodies is a great way to keep kids active and discover new ways to be creative, while challenging them to remember specific movements in a piece of music keeps their brains sharp. This is a unique class in that students have the chance to perform Broadway style dance combinations from their living rooms!Reviews
