Mrs. Pomeroy’s Dance Residency
This residency offers an exciting experience for the entire school, ending with the family dance event. Throughout the week, students will engage in a variety of dance styles daily. The family dance is scheduled for April 10th in the gym from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. This event provides an opportunity for students to invite their family members to participate in the different dances. The more parents, siblings, and guardians that join in, the richer the experience will be!
This weeklong event serves as a powerful community building activity, using dance as a medium. Students can expect to enjoy dances from various cultures, including folk dances, partner dances, singing games, square dances, and more. Each dance has been selected for its ability to unite people and offer children a joyful introduction to the world of dance.
Throughout the week, students will learn physical skills, terminology, musical concepts, and the social etiquette necessary for dancing in a group.
We look forward to seeing everyone there!
Kindergarten registration is open!
