1. DANCEPL3Y workshop
      • DANCEPL3Y (dance-play) develops physical literacy through dance using simple movements from a variety of world dance styles (Hip Hop, Urban, Ballroom, Aboriginal, Bollywood, African, Jazz/Funk) to develop Fundamental Movement Skills and foster positive mental health! Through playful group formations, teachers learn how to create engaging classes where students can develop confidence through dance, get interACTIVE with their peers and claim their “Bubble of Awesome”. There are only 3 Rules of PLAY to follow:  Be Positive, Be Fun, Be Yourself. Guaranteed to help meet the requirements for moderate to vigorous physical activity. During this full day workshop, teachers will experience a DANCEPL3Y program class, learn how to develop physical literacy through dance, and develop new verbal, physical and interpersonal coaching skills. The Master Trainer will focus on four main songs that feature a variety of music styles and fundamental movement skills. After this workshop, teachers will be ready to ‘plug and play’ their new skills and get students moving with simple dances from around the world! Teachers who participate in the 1-Day Pro-D Workshop can use the skills that they learned to lead engaging and high-energy dances with their students in their classrooms, or as part of their Physical Education, Dance or Music program.
