As stated last week, this post will be a little brief. All classes have begun their adventure into a February Spring Show season and were excited to hear their music and start learning their dance!!
Ballet classes joined in for Round 2 of the PIE Grant measurements. They had some of the similar celebrations and disappointments of Jazz. Some of their measurements had made a dramatic gain since the beginning of the year. And some, had made no change or a small decline. This has both given them encouragement for their hard work where they thought that maybe no gain had been made and gave them direction on those areas that needed additional work.
Last week we had 3 visitor from Texas Cultural Trust and Resources for Learning come and observe our Dance & Media classes as they started Module 3. This week we finished the lesson by sharing some fun videos made from Magisto. They had used social media to learn the Merengue, then as a group created their own Merengue dance. Then they used other classmates to direct and super small film of the dance and dumped into Magisto. The magic of Magisto is that it can make fun edit immediately without any work on your part and comes out with a fun project that they can share! Here are 2 fun examples:
Cha Cha Slide
Mergenue
On a teacher note, I explored Photoshop Mix and the Creative Cloud of Adobe for working on creating a program cover and poster for Spring Show. The final image will need text added to it, but had create cut out and blending options. We can't let them have all the fun with the iPads :)
