What could cause more anxiety to a young teenager than risking embarrassment in front of peers through dance and being barefoot? Not a whole lot! My students are pushed out of their comfort zones when exploring how movement is a form of communication, expresses cultures and values, and a form of artistic expression. I often see students who may struggle in academic areas absolutely soar within the confines of my walls! Items such foot powder, movement-appropriate socks, and odor- removing shoe deodorizers will assist in calming anxieties of undesirable smells among peers. Yoga mats provide a level of comfort during conditioning and stretching activities as well as offer a barrier between the student and a potentially dirty classroom floor. The wrist/ankle weights and therapeutic bands allow improvement in strength, range of motion and muscle balance. The items on my wish list could alleviate major concerns within my student body, thus allowing them to focus on content during class. I am passionate about what I teach and confident that by providing my students with a comfortable and safe environment, their experience in my classroom will be enriched and more meaningful!
