Description: Students learn about dance’s ability to help express emotion and how this is something all people share and have in common. Four words are introduced (fear, joy anger, happiness) and dances are performed. Students are then asked which dance they feel represented each emotion. Visual aids are used throughout and together we explore variations of words which express emotion (afraid, excited). Students also learn and perform a short movement phrase. The dancers introduce themselves and respond to students’ questions. Requirements: Multi-purpose area, iPod deck, speaker or we bring our own, chalk board to write words or visible wall to place our own
