My Students

Dance in my classroom is about uncovering and discovering a voice through movement and expression. One of the ways that we express ourselves is through community performance. In order to do this, we need our music to be heard!!

My students are eager learners who are diverse culturally and socio-economically.

Our school is a college preparatory high school in Southern California with a rigorous curriculum that is high-demanding. Students are expected to rise to the occasion academically despite social and financial obstacles that they may face. Our school is designated low socio-economic status and we are deemed a Title l school.

My Project

My students are constantly working on dance projects that require their music to be heard. Currently, we have smaller wireless speakers, but we do not have a louder one that we can use for small performances and rehearsals. Since dance is so project-based, my students are often times working in groups where they need the music to be audible for all of the dancers. Our current small speakers do not provide enough sound, especially when dancers are working on their dances outside of the classroom.

Having a new speaker in the classroom will make a vast difference in the way that students can rehearse both during class and after school.

Students will have audible music which will in turn have them better rehearsed for their upcoming performances. We will also be able to transport our music easily to and from smaller, intimate performances by being able to use this speaker. My students and I truly appreciate any support you can provide to our classroom. Thank you!
