What is Creative
and
Modern Dance? WHY do we teach it at Canyon Dance Academy
(CDA)?
Creative/modern dance focuses on the development of the whole person
by
presenting dance as an art form, thus spawning
creative and
independent thinking, leadership skills, self-control both
physically
and emotionally, working cooperatively in groups, and confidence
building in activities such as choreography and
performances. Throughmovement exploration, dancers reach progressive levels
of
physical
skill development while learning the vocabulary of dance. Dancers have
the opportunity to improvise, engage in creative problem
solving and
grow in cognitive, social and emotional ways as they interact in
class.
At CDA we don’t expect our students to mimic our every move. We teach
basic skills, then guide them as they learn to create and express
themselves through movement. We advocate the philosophy of Virginia
Tanner, a pioneer in the field of creative movement for children: “The
motivating force behind my work is not only developing excellent
dancers, but more importantly, developing young people who are useful,
imaginative, worthwhile human beings."
What makes
Canyon Dance Academy different? *A large, spacious dance studio with a wooden sprung floor,
and studio performance space with lights, backdrops, and sound.
*Performance opportunities, not competitions. Our Velocity teen company
performs monthly at various community events.
*A variety of classes while staying true to our mission of teaching
dance as an art form.
*Scholarships, reduced costume prices, discounts on dancewear, other
family-friendly resources for students.
*Nutcracker performance opportunity with Canyon Movement Company, the
adult professional company.
*A newly expanded costume closet for various events.
*Excellent technical and creative
training by adults with college and professional experience.
From "Dancing in the Wings" a book by Debbie Allen.
Ever
since I was born and could see,
Everywhere I looked, I saw dance.
In
the clouds as the wind blew them across the sky,
In
the ripples on a pond,
Even
in the sea of ants marching up and down their hills.
Dance was all around me. Dance was me.

can
be
no
keener
revelation

society's
soul
than
the
way
in
which
it
treats
its
children."
~Nelson
Mandela
"Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the
world!" ~Albert Einstein
"The motivating force behind my work is
not only
developing excellent dancers, but
more importantly, developing young people who are useful, imaginative,
worthwhile human beings."
