Dancers Delight Students with Free Workshops

During the week of October 12th, over 1000 students grades 3 through 12 were given the opportunity to create site-specific choreography with San Diego Dance Theatre artists. Students were invited to watch an exclusive movie documenting the first 10 years of Trolley Dances. They then had a 45-minute workshop, during their regular school day, with a dance artist who worked with the students to develop their own site-specific dance study. At the end of the workshop, students had the opportunity to ask questions and talk with the teaching artist. Mr. Grover, 4th Grade Teacher at Linda Vista Elementary, had this to say about the workshop: "They LOVED it. Thank you for offering this to the little ones and sharing, what can only be said to be a relief from our current strangeness." We are so glad to have such a great partnership with San Diego Dance Theatre! (Pictured: CPMA students during their Zoom dance workshop.)
