The basic definition of dance (shapes moving through space to a beat) is explored in an eye-catching and interactive demonstration with Dance Kaleidoscope. Dancers explain and perform the elements of dance to a wonderful array of music, capturing students’ imaginations and creativity.

This residency explores, through dance, how the fabric of everyday life becomes part of a community’s traditional ritual. Focusing on a Native American story, the students are able to recall knowledge they already have as well as to think creatively and critically as all participate in the making of a community dance.

*Scheduled through Young Audiences of Indiana.
