Dance to Learn @ School 22
Students at William F. Halloran School No. 22 are participating in the Dance to Learn program that connects dance and classroom instruction through a partnership with dance company 10 Hairy Legs.
More than 50 second grade students from School No. 22 are participating in a 14-week Creative Movement Residency, which includes 14 weekly classes taught by 10 Hairy Legs teaching artist Shawn Brush.
Brush, now in his second year of teaching this specific curriculum, is a graduate of Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, earning a BFA in Dance.
The arts-integrated DTL curriculum encourages students to explore, internalize and transform classroom learning and the elements of dance while developing their individual creative voices. The kinesthetic learning experiences provided through the curriculum also enhance physical, social, and emotional development while allowing students to connect to language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, and music instruction.
The residency includes a performance by 10 Hairy Legs and the second grade students at School No. 22 on Wednesday, November 16 at 1:30 p.m.
