Summer Camp Dance
Step Dancing
The step piece introduceda genre of dancing that the
campers had only seenin movies. It t involved a lot
of patience, effort, and repetition. The dance
taught the group discipline, respect and
most importantly, unity.
Danza Kuduro
Danza Kuduro was a dance mix of some African influence and a few salsa steps. This dance gave the kids the opportunity to use
their creativity by incorporating their own dance moves into the piece. As a group, we worked
together to finish the choreography.
The Final Presentation Students were given the opportunity to put on a presentation for their parents
to show them what they learned in summer camp.
Sports
In the sports demonstration, we played a game of “Quemado” or Dodgeball as it is
called in the United States. This game allowed the parents to learn a new game
and involve themselves in the closing activities.
Recreation
During recreation, the campers presented some breakdancing
techniques that they had learned. Learning breakdance helped the boys discover their own personal interest in dance.
It also showed them the advantages of teamwork;
working together they achieved more.
