Dance EdVenture™
Weighty Rainstorms
In this Dance to Learn® Ballet Dance EdVenture™, dancers ages 4-7 will explore the fascinating world of weather through creative movement and ballet technique. Using the Dance Element of Force and the Dance Concept of Weight, dancers will discover the difference between light and heavy movement by exploring a rainstorm from beginning to end.
A light and fluffy cloud floats gently in the sky. Raindrops begin to fall, softly at first, then growing heavier and louder. Lightning flashes—some quick and light, others strong and heavy. Thunder rumbles across the floor with stomping feet. When the storm clears, a beautiful rainbow appears, and dancers leap, twirl, and glide across its colorful arch.
Through Concept Scaffolding, your dancers experience a layered understanding of movement. As they shift from light to heavy qualities using both ballet and creative dance vocabulary, they develop a kinesthetic awareness of contrast, cause and effect, and dynamic control. This enriching exploration of Weight through the playful lens of a rainstorm promotes coordination, emotional expression, and a deeper mind-body connection for young movers.
