My Project

These materials will help me set up a quality dance class environment for my students. We don't have access to a dance studio/room so it is imperative that I transform our space to replicate an actual dance studio. I am requesting All Purpose Anti-Tear Exercise Yoga Mats and a Portable Bluetooth Speaker System. I will teach my students all dance styles, tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop & Modern/Lyrical. They will be able to create their own choreography based on the technical dance skills I provide them with. Through dance they will learn skills that can transfer to high school, college & beyond. Critical thinking, Multi-Tasking, Self-Confidence, Public Speaking Skills. My students can and will be successful no matter what!
