SoundKreations | Dance Residency
We are thrilled to welcome back SoundKreations for our annual dance residency. This year, Moises will be back with us again to teach us some Afro-fusion moves, Hip-Hop and Latin moves all through a DanceCOMBO program. Part of our Physical Education curriculum focuses on directional movement and patterns and sequences of movement in rhythmic and expressive activities. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from an expert in the field of dance. Students will be learning moves in all three dance styles in this residency, which will run from April 30 - May 15.

Please work with your child to rank their interest in the courses and return the forms to their teacher on Monday, April 28. Note that forms must be signed by a legal guardian.
