My Project

I have the most amazing and talented dance students in my school. My students love dance and are able to express themselves through their dance steps. So much of the day is spent in academics and students need an outlet during their busy day to enjoy themselves. I teach dance in a relaxed way and I have taught my students so well. Our dance routines are top notch and I hope my students will use what I am teaching them in the future. Dance is slit if memorization of steps and it’s hard to remember them all. Students need notebooks to write down these steps so that they can practice at home what I am teaching them in school.

Dance is impirtant to students because it build stamina, gives them movement and exercise, and helps them with gross motor coordination.

I want my students to be well rounded and the best kids that they can be. Thank you for giving my students these notebooks.
