Purpose
To practice dance not only as a playful moment, but also to improve discipline and the knowledge of one’s body. Starting from the sentence of Sir Ken Robinson “Because dance at school is as important as mathematics” we contacted a dance teacher and offered lessons to all classes of schools involved. With this project we want to educate primary and secondary school children in taking care of their body and increasing their sensitivity towards it.
Project structure
The project has been developed according to these guidelines:
1. coordination and movement of the body
2. development of musicality
3. dance as a body expression and moving art
4.dance as an education to a discipline
It took place in the school gym for three consecutive friday until the end of the school year. For a total of three hours for each primary and secondary class with the active participation of teachers in the lessons. The teacher Rita Puja, former dancer of modern dance and owner of a dance school in Asti, has collaborated with us.
