DCMS Related Arts Dance Day 2013

Dance Day 2013 was a supercharged day full of fun and activity when all of the related arts classes came together to learn about dance, cultures, careers in dance, dance movements and dance silhouettes. The halls and gym were decorated with the Silhouettes of students in dance pose. The classes moved to different stations and filled out a passport as they visited each station. The passports received an official stamp and students moved on to the next station. At the end of class all students turned in the passports and received mardi gras beads. The stations were: Family and Consumer Science, Mrs. Wyatt - Careers in Dance (Fabulous Powerpoint presentation!) Art, Mrs. Soule - The art of dance silhouettes (Aluminum foil sculpture) Movement in dance, Mrs. Jarboe - Students tied 2 ribbons to their wrists and practiced dance movements. Technology, Mr. Bromer - The use of technology and dance Music, Mrs. Smalling and Mrs. Fields - Lots of visuals! Costumes, instruments and a powerful presentation. PE, Mr. Hartford - The physical side of dance

Hanging the Dance Silhouettes for dance day!

Creating the Dance Silhouettes for Dance Day

To Prepare for the Related Arts Dance Day Art Classes are creating Silhouettes of Dancers! The students are working in groups of 2 and recreating the movement onto a large piece of black paper. Then they are adding 10 dance terms using oil pastels in an artsy way with line and shape. These will be hung in the halls and gym on Feb. 20th Dance Day!
