In this session, Mary Mitchell and New Ballet Ensemble teaching artists will use their Anansi and the Sky God virtual program to demonstrate how educators can use the ensemble’s programs to achieve deeper student learning across many subjects. The session will also provide participants with tools they can use to guide their students through simple and enjoyable dance moves in the classroom. Teachers who attend will see the New Ballet Ensemble’s virtual offerings; analyze the instructional benefits of the Anansi program for the classroom, and learn how to integrate creative and manageable dance concepts into their instruction. To enhance the interlude experience, attendees are asked to review the digital Anansi study guide by clicking here before they come to the workshop.
