“Students in kindergarten all the way through 5th grade embraced this piece and learned something from it…. Weeks later, we were working on an activity in my class, and a student raised their hand to call out a connection they were making between what we were doing and the Dance Matters’ performance. The dancing, stories, and content stuck with them.”
Bridget Corrigan, Dance Educator, Jenni Moore Elementary School
“The performance was both an educational experience for the students
at North Charleston Creative Arts, as well as an entertaining event, that provided students with the opportunity to learn while observing and participating.” Eric Hansen, Principal, North Charleston Creative Arts Elementary School
“I wanted to let you know how much myself and my 2nd grade class enjoyed the Earthsongs assembly. In my 10 years of teaching I have never been to a performance that addressed our standards so directly. It was obvious that they had done their research on not only the standards, but appropriate academic vocabulary. I loved how they were able to say a word, then talk about what it meant, then show the meaning of the word through dance. Awesome!!”
