Teaching Artist Review

To say she was wonderful would be short changing Ronne! She begins by explaining the origins of West African dance to the children, including key words and native tongue phrases that the students will respond to throughout her workshop. Then comes a dance warm-up followed by dance moves sequenced so that every child can learn and succeed. -Nancy Schmitt, Art Teacher

Program Description

Students will join Ronne Stone on a journey through the regions of Mali, Senegal, Gambia and Guinea learning cultural traditions of song and dance along the way. With the use of body movement, students will explore the elements of rhythm, shape, space, force/energy, patterns, and stories.
