Why
Creative Dance?
Event Horizon Dance works with children to help them
to express themselves creatively through music and movement. Dance is a wonderful way for students to communicate emotions
and ideas. The goal of Event Horizon Dance is to not only to inspire new artists but to create better thinkers and problem
solvers. A dance education benefits the students by stimulating their minds through exercise and movement, and builds strong
problem solving skills and self confidence. Not only do we follow the mandate of the Ontario curriculum guidelines, but we
also connect to the entire school curriculum.
Our workshops fit easily into daily school routines.
We require 15 minutes to set up and an hour time slot for each workshop. Four workshops fit easily into a school day.
The gym should be made available. It’s
the best way for students to move around without feeling inhibited by space constraints. The music can be very loud,
so it is best to keep them away from the other classrooms.
The
teachers are welcome to join in… the work is easy to learn. Each class will be provided with a detailed lesson plan
and a CD (recording specifically designed for a creative movement class) if requested for a small additional fee.
There
are several workshop packages available, however we can design programs to suit your individual needs.

For teachers,
we offer a comprehensive breakdown of the art form and include detailed instructions on how to create unique lessons from
what you already know outside of dance. Event Horizon Dance will lead teachers
through movement lessons showing how dance is educational on many levels, including ways to explore creative movement. By
introducing new concepts about dance, we demonstrate lessons that can be taught in the classroom, if the gymnasium is not
available. Event Horizon Dance provides teachers with written lesson plans that
coincide with the required daily physical activities (DPA).

Workshops
are also available for Hip-Hop and Break Dancing classes, including hip-hop history workshops.
