This will be a culturally engaging session that includes high-energy Bollywood Dance Choreography on a weekly basis for 7 weeks! We will learn fun and active dance routines, focusing on movement execution, rhythm, coordination, memory, styling, and more. Learners will gain a bigger cultural context while learning dance routines. 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. No prior experience needed. Learners will have the opportunity to interact in class. We will share, ask questions and engage in discussions on the cultural theme during short breaks. Sessions for this age group will be dance focused, but I will give a cultural context to the dance by sharing information on the specific regions of India and festivals celebrated. Each class will alternate between dance components with 2 short breaks where we will learn cultural information via colorful pictures. General class structure includes a warm up, dance routine, colorful pictures to enforce cultural concepts, and cool down stretches. On the last day, dancers are encouraged to wear Indian outfits and perform the dance we learned during the session!
Learning Goals
The goal is to have fun with active movement, while focusing on form and movement execution, developing rhythm and coordination, improving memory, encouraging creativity, building confidence, understanding and appreciation of Indian culture and how they are related to the dance movements, pronunciation of simple Hindi (Indian language) words, interaction & socializing!
