Comments by teachers and administrators:
Very well documented - I
thought that explaining the Charlston's part in
the development of swing very interesting - I loved it! – Lynn Slater,
Teacher
They held everyone's interest K-5 for 45 minutes.
Knew exactly how to present the material – Julie Lustic, Teacher
We were studying the Harlem Renaissance as a school wide theme,
they tailored the program to meet the school's focus. The artists "spoke" to
the audience.
They used different medias to demonstrate the era. – Sharon Post, Teacher
Very energetic! Students were able to see the origins of many current dances.
– Mrs Ware, Teacher
The students were very engaged by the dancing and music.
The students loved to try some of the dance steps themselves. – Caroline
Zinamon, Teacher
The children really seemed
to enjoy the program and they enjoyed participating in the
"group dance". The presenters were engaging and they danced well.
Seeing film clips of dance from early periods was good. – Mrs Kankaska,
Teacher
Not too much talk or theory,
not too short on background - just right!
Lot's of audience participation, presenters handled the students, related to
them,
and did a quality presentation – Renee Harrison, Principal
