School Assemblies

Schools That Have Hosted Freespace Dance

Freespace Dance believes an education in the arts is an essential part of the academic curriculum. Our assembly program is designed to teach students about dance as an art form, keeping with the NJ Content Standards in Dance.

Artistic Director of Freespace Dance, Donna Scro, uses this forty five minute lecture demonstration to explain what has inspired her to make dances. Shapes, patterns and numbers, children's play, an abstract transformation of a chrysalis, group and family dynamics are the topics she discusses as the company demonstrates how these ideas can become a dance. Basic composition skills are introduced to the lower grades and explored deeper with the older grades. Through audience participation, the students are encouraged to find their own inspirations to make dances and learn basic tools in order to begin to form those inspirations. "Dance Inspirations" leaves open the possibility for further discussion and exploration of the students inspired dance ideas.

Fees:
$600- one 45 minute performance
$1000- two 45 minute performances
