Description:

Journey to six different continents and explore what makes dances unique to different people. Begin in South America with Viva Jujuy!, then travel to North America for a clogging lesson. After a journey to Europe to learn the Italian Tarantella and a French work dance, students join an Israeli children's dance. Finally, an Australian jig and a Tahitian canoe dance conclude the journey. This performance involves student participation, geography connections and related dance traditions around the globe. It's a wonderful kick off assembly for a school's International Fair or Cultural Diversity Day. Rebecca Cornelius is a Teaching Artist Institute Graduate and specializes in arts integration.
