The Integrated Arts with Rebecca Sawdon!

We met our artist, interpretive dancer, Rebecca Sawdon on Monday.

She taught us how to stretch our muscles.

Balancing on one leg.

Touching our toes.

Stretching on our tummies. 

We are incorporating insects and springtime in our dances.  The boys and girls are blades of grass growing slowly in the sun.

I believe that the students were dancing like cows that Rebecca said she sees in the fields out in the country.

The children also danced like eagles.  This was all part of a special springtime freeze dance.

Little caterpillars.

The caterpillars are in their cocoons (pillow cases).  Some of the cocoons have already transformed into beautiful butterflies.

Rebecca taught us all about the different levels of dancing: low, medium and high as well as different speeds of dancing.

More blades of grass in the afternoon classs.

Jumping frogs.

More little caterpillars.

We learned all about metamorphosis.

Learning a new springtime dance routine.

Some children volunteered to do a few solo dance moves.

What an AMAZING first class.  We can hardly wait until Wednesday and Thursday to see what Rebecca will be teaching us next!!!
