Dance Informances

DANCEREACH RESIDENCIES connect students, professional artists, classroom teachers and the community through the art form of dance. Students study the elements of dance, engage in movement activities, and reflect upon the process. All residencies integrate Ohio Department of Education Dance Content standards and are specially designed for participating schools.

Moving into Literacy (2nd Grade Program)
Learning to read and write with a twist--and a hop, skip and jump--the Moving Into Literacy program infuses dance education into English Language Arts education to positively impact literacy. Participating students study pieces of literature and create their own works--from dance to art and writings.

Costs depend upon the length and scope of the residency. Residencies require a gym, stage or multi-purpose room with a piano and a clean, mopped floor. Teacher supervision and participation required.
