Rhythmic Activities and Dance

A weekly fitness and movement series designed for students of all abilities, focusing on social-emotional learning through physical activity and group coordination.

A comprehensive sequence for 9th Grade PE focused on the artistic and athletic composition of gymnastics floor routines, moving from individual skills to a cohesive performance.

A 12th-grade gymnastics unit focusing on the transition from individual skill mastery to artistic routine composition. Students learn to choreograph, refine, and perform a floor routine that emphasizes flow, spatial awareness, and aesthetic control.

This sequence explores how rhythm and timing function as defining characteristics of various cultural dance forms, focusing on West African, Jazz, Latin, and Contemporary styles. Students will analyze and embody concepts such as polycentrism, swing, the clave, and rubato to understand the intersection of culture and musicality.

This 12th-grade sequence explores rhythm through a cultural lens, focusing on Afro-Latin Clave, Swing triplets, West African call-and-response, and irregular Balkan meters. Students analyze the relationship between music and movement, ultimately synthesizing these global structures into a contemporary fusion project.

A high-level physical education sequence for 12th graders focusing on the intersection of music theory and movement. Students progress from basic beat identification to complex polyrhythmic coordination and body percussion.

A high-school physical education sequence exploring the mathematical and cultural complexity of polyrhythms through Afro-diasporic and Latin dance traditions, focusing on motor coordination and rhythmic independence.

A 9th-grade physical education and dance sequence that explores body percussion and polyrhythms. Students learn to use their bodies as instruments, layer complex rhythms, and collaborate to create original 32-count routines.

A comprehensive 5-lesson unit for 12th graders focusing on the mechanics, etiquette, and social dynamics of partner dancing, specifically East Coast Swing. Students progress from basic rhythmic footwork to complex lead-follow connection and floorcraft.

This project-based sequence empowers 8th-grade students to become choreographers by analyzing musical structure and translating it into movement. Students map rhythmic topography, explore movement dynamics, and collaborate on original choreography that visually decodes musical phrasing and timing.

This advanced 12th-grade sequence bridges the gap between physical execution and biomechanical science in floor gymnastics. Students explore how the laws of physics—specifically center of gravity, angular momentum, and rotational mechanics—can be harnessed to improve technical precision, safety, and aesthetic flow in their routines.

This sequence focuses on the acquisition of intermediate floor skills and the artistic integration of these movements into a fluid routine. Students analyze biomechanics, practice spotting, and design a graded performance.

A comprehensive 12th-grade dance sequence that deconstructs the fundamental elements of movement—space, time, and energy—to help students transition from technical execution to artistic choreography. Students engage in movement workshops, experimental labs, and collaborative projects to understand how deliberate manipulation of dynamics creates meaning in performance.

A project-based sequence where 8th-grade students act as athletic trainers to design and lead sport-specific flexibility routines, moving from research and personal assessment to instructional leadership.

An 8-session introductory yoga program designed for middle and high school students, focusing on mindfulness, physical flexibility, and stress management techniques.

A weekly fitness and movement series designed for students of all abilities, focusing on social-emotional learning through physical activity and group coordination.

A comprehensive yoga series featuring a deep-dive chair yoga masterclass with guided videos and a follow-up standing flow session for beginners. Designed to build both mental calm and physical strength.
