Overview City Dance Dance in the Schools A Day in the Theatre   Dance In The Schools was created five years ago to introduce elementary school children to the art of dance by presenting high quality programs by professional dancers from within the community. Students learn how dance began and developed into an art form. They also learn how everyday movements and gestures are used in dance and then developed by choreographers into performance pieces. Students get the opportunity to participate in a number of activities, culminating in a performance of their own creation. Dance In The Schools workshops are designed to suit the needs of individual schools and can last from a 1 1/2 hour in school Lecture/Demonstration to a 6 week after school program.
