You Can Dance! is a residency program that uses dance to develop creativity, problem solving, and collaboration. Students use movement to develop skills they can use their entire lives.
Elements of movement, structure, story-telling, and collaboration are explored through dance based games. All movement is created by the students.
The curriculum addresses the CA Core Content Standards for Dance.
