Today's episode is all about an exercise you can immediately implement into your classes this week if you choose. Amanda is always looking for fresh new ideas to bring to the classroom at the start of a new year so that everything really feels new for her students! At a time where we are focused on reviewing previous skills and getting back into our space, this exercise may be just what you are looking for to help bring some newness to your class! Amanda has had great success and response from doing this Improvisation Analysis exercise with her preteen through teen dancers, but this exercise could even be done in the elementary setting depending on the guidelines you set. There are numerous benefits to this exercise and Amanda has seen tremendous growth in her dancers from learning about observation, analysis, application, and what it all means for the movements that we as individuals bring into the classroom as a greater whole.
