Join Dana Rossi and Moisés Próspero in different dance exercises to explore the TIME and SPACE elements of dance – moving more quickly and slowly to the tempo, mirroring, and more.

Dance with Dana Rossi and Moisés Próspero from Ballet West’s ICANDO program. Learn a combination and continue exploring the SPACE and TIME elements of dance. Be sure to warm-up first with our ICANDO warm- up video or some music of your own.

Music:

This video uses dance to relate the COVID19 pandemic to the historical situation of disease brought to Native American populations by Spanish Explorers, which 5th grade students learn about in Social Studies and History.  Ashley discusses the spread of new viruses through a population and uses dance to express the emotions students may be feeling during this time.

Dancers- please complete the ICANDO warm-up video before watching this video about the dance element of energy. I hope you enjoy dancing with me.

This video was made in the San Rafael Swell. I highly recommend that you complete the ICANDO warm-up video with instructors Dana Rossi, Sarah Lovett and Alicia Trump before starting on my video. This video is about the dance element of Time.

This combination focuses on different aspects of Energy – one of the elements of dance covered in the 5th grade core curriculum – such as still and moving shapes, sustained movement, exploding and rebounding movement.

Music:

• “Is It True” by Tame Impala

Dance with Ballet West ICANDO Instructor Sarah Lovett and explore the “Space” element of dance. This combination has many changes of weight, alternating between a wide and narrow base.

Alicia’s video focuses on 2 elements of dance:  Space and Energy – dancing in a narrow base and a wide base; contrasting and dynamic changes; distorted, exaggerated, and diminished movement.
