Fit and Dance Project 16.9.2008

F&DP is a fitness and dance workshop initiative and we will be utilized as an additional alternative to the average everyday sports regimen. Our aim is to provide both boys and girls the opportunity to gain another insight into how the body functions when moving in accordance of a musical context. Our concept is based on the theory that dance is universal and has proponents that are integrative, interactive and brings about interaction. F&DP is based upon the premises that all or nearly all of its participants are novice in regards to having had any dance training and therefore have to be taught in unconventional modes. Dance choreographies can be specified within the range and abilities of the children yet they will also offer them many different challenges and they will obtain an awareness of having fun while working to have fun as the Fit and Dance Project will end with a presentation performance.

All workshop classes are to be conducted within the sport hour or as an after school program and is to take place over the course of between six and eight workshop sessions which range between one hour and ninety minutes. The children will learn one production choreography.
