What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursClass Experience
In this one time meeting, students will get moving to a showtune from a popular show: Shrek the Musical! 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 basic dance combination set to about 50 seconds of the song "What's Up Duloc." Dance steps may include three step turns, grapevines, pivots, kick ball changes, and many more. We will take a brief break at the halfway point to get water and discuss what we know about the show, and share any facts we might have about it! 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 a green outfit or Shrek style costumes/props accessible for our final performance!
Learning Goals
By the end of our session, students will have a new knowledge of different types of 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
