Week 3 with Geena!
As I arrived in Bridgehampton on Saturday, the song Happy with Me by Holychild started playing in my ears. I used this song last year at the Ross School for choreography and found it to be the perfect theme for my arrival.
This week we covered lyrical/modern dance, hip-hop and a [dance from Trinidad]. The students were all so excited and eager to have fun and enjoy dance! I pushed the dancers to be more creative than ever – to put their whole body and emotions into the dance, to take risks and make up creative movements on their own. As a reward we played lots of movement games.
We did interviews of their favorite activities: Sophia, Gabby and Matilda all loved the Cheetah Girls dance. Watch the dance [HERE]!
Rénee’s favorite dance was You’ve Got Time. You can certainly see their personalities come to the surface in this dance. Watch it [HERE]!
And Mission Impossible was unanimously chosen as a favorite game – a movement game across the floor with a few curveballs!
All in all, so much fun!
