Waddle, Frolic, and Jiggle

It may appear as if these general music students are cowering in fear of their autocratic music teacher, but they have, in fact, just completed a performance of a short dance piece.

Sixth-grade students brainstormed in order to come up with verbs that describe various ways to move.  The students then divided into small groups and choreographed a dance based on these verbs.  Inspired by Michael Phelps, this group chose “jiggle” and “swim” to create their dance piece.  This picture was taken after diving into the pool:

Thanks to Prof. Pogonowski and the fabulous faculty of Creative Arts Laboratory at Teachers College for breathing new life into my general music curriculum!
