Dancing in the Classroom

This year St. Columbkille is one of two Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese to work with Dancing Classrooms.

 

On Mondays and Wednesdays, instructors are coming to the 5th grade class rooms to teach dance to the students to achieve social awareness and build self-esteem.

Students are taught the vocabulary of various contemporary social dances in a classroom setting. Each class in the series introduces new steps, reinforcing what has been previously learned through practice and repetition.

 

After ten weeks the culmination of this experience is a  showcase where every child will perform. For now, we'll give a glimpse of where they are starting.
