Integrating Dance

Third through sixth-grade have been working with District specialist Holly Markgraf-Mayne to incorporate dance into everyday teaching. By integrating you are able to teach two concepts at the same time. She taught students the vocabulary of dance. She talked with them about how they use their bodies to move through space, and showed them that it is fun. There were a lot of positive comments by students. I even had some that were practicing the things she taught out on the playground.
