In this session, I will share the music and movement used to incorporate dancing into my K-8 Jazz music curriculum. Bring your ‘dancing shoes’ because in this session, we will improvise movement using locomotor/non-locomotor movements, develop a “showstopper” performance for grades K-2 with a partner, and create an in-class performance of Lindy Hop dance moves for the 4th through 8th grade classroom using dance composition cards. Finally, we will have conversations about how social dance in the U.S. African-American community continues to be a compelling force in music and dance in the 21st Century.
