Dance recital

Amelia has been taking creative movement for 4- and 5-year-olds. The studio did a demonstration yesterday afternoon. We saw lots of neat dancing. I love the studio, which is called Between the Bones. They are focused on the connection between mind and body and do a lot of choreography and letting the kids choose how to move, which you can see below in the form of Amelia standing around deciding what to do next. They also tell stories through dance. This dance is about making different shapes and contrasts with the body, like low and high, fast and slow, curvy and straight. They called it the leaf dance. The video was too big for a single file so it is in two parts below.
