Music for Dancers

Help me give my students music to practice their dances! The tablets will allow students to work on their own choreography in small groups and solo. They need access to inspiration from videos and music!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These tablets will be for students to listen to music while rehearsing in small groups in class for their choreography projects in dance class. These can be used with their own headphones to do independent work.

Students need to be able to find their music to further their choreographic skills.

Students will also be able to look up videos for choreographic inspiration and find new music.

Students will also be able to video themselves if they need to remember choreography.

We have needed some more tablets or music players for a while, and while our old ones have held up for a few years, they need repairs and we need more to keep up with the amazing growing demand in our dance program!

We are also requesting cases this time as we've learned from our mistakes in not having cases for our mini-MP3 players which have been cared for well, but are also used by over 100 students a day! These tablets will last us years to come with our cases on for safety and preservation!
