This requested Acoustic Audio wireless speaker and TONOR wireless microphone will help my dance students focus on their classwork by increasing the volume of the music, allowing me to move about the class with the bluetooth feature, and provide a boost for my voice when necessary. Many times, the talking in class can quickly increase volume, especially when when I am fumbling to change music, connected to a PC speaker; without these pauses in class, smooth transitions from one activity to the next might be possible. While ChillHop beats are playing overhead, students can properly stretch their bodies on new yoga mats. On these new mats, each student can find their way to a calm demeanor and still body. It is my hope that the materials will give students some motivation to increase effort and participation for their physical health and mental well-being.
