Program Description
Square Dance Workshops/Residency: Learning and dancing go hand in hand as students explore why square dancing has been a popular social dance since Colonial times…because it is fun! Square dancing develops listening skills, partnership and teamwork. Students experience a traditional American art form that fosters a sense of community and teaches respect for themselves and others. Dancing together builds community and friendships. Square Dancing develops social skills helping students learn how to prevent bullying in their school community through kindness and respect for others. The historical roots of square dancing offers ideal connections to colonial history and social studies topics. Meets Common Core Standards in English Language Arts: Comprehension and Collaboration. Kick off a Square Dance Residency with a Foot & Fiddle performance of “American Footsteps” and as a culminating event, bring the whole school community together for a “Family Square Dance.”
