In this class, I will be teaching learners the life of Josephine Baker through animated pictures. The students will learn about Josephines' wonderful life and how she danced her way out of poverty in St Louis to a flourishing career in France before becoming a spy during WW2 . During this class, students will have an opportunity to learn a signature dance from the 1920's which was made famous by Josephine Baker. This class is very interactive and will introduce students to a positive, successful black female figure from history . Students will have an opportunity to ask and answer questions about Josephine's life through this story time lesson. This lesson will focus on dance, ambition and female determination in a fun relaxed environment. The dance routine is a very simple dance designed for beginners.
