Swing and African Dance with Dance Instructor Shelby Jones!

What a great turn out for Swing and African Dance with Dance Instructor Shelby Jones!
 
Our after school kids got into rythm with Dance Instructor Shelby Jones of Rutland.  Shelby Jones introduced the kids to some Swing moves and then took the kids to Africa.  She brought along fabrics from different parts of Africa and the kids dressed up and immersed themselves in African dance.  The kids learned how African dance moves often tell a story.  So, while they were dancing, they were also giving thanks to the earth, praising their food, praying for rain, and loving their parents.  At the end of the program, a circle was formed, kids got a chance to play the drums, and whoever wanted to enter the circle and dance was encouraged to do so, this was a fantastic program and a great opportunity for the kids to experience a different part of the world though dance.  Shelby loved the energy of the kids and promises to return.  Thanks Shelby!  PS. I think this would make a great Adult program- let me know if you are interested.

High Energy Outdoor Fun at RCML

Thank you Richard and Selica of Peak Survival for presenting a great after school program.  Richard and Selica asked the kids to focus in on their five (or was it six) senses.  Then, they asked them to make a connection with these senses and the natural world.  After doing so, the kids set off to put it all into action.  Through a series of great games and exercises, the kids learned how to smell their way around, how to listen for their 'pack', and how to 'feel' their way back home.  They worked together to untangle a human knot and got a sense of what it is like to be part of the 'food chain'.  On such a gorgeous day, there was a lot of running around, the sound of laughter, and genuine enthusiasm.  Richard and Selica ended the program with a great book, Shel Silverstein's, The Giving Tree.  Great program!
