Week 3

It's Week 3 at Dancing Wheels and now that Tech Week is over, it's back to daily dance classes with the company followed by rehearsals. Don't get me wrong... the hour and a half of technique classes in various dance styles such as classical ballet and Hawkin's modern are great for my own skills; however, the purpose of my senior project was not to benefit my dance career so much as it was to learn how people use dance as a way of physical and/or emotional therapy. Although I have seen this in action through my daily observing of the company, I have yet to experience this with a separate group of physically and/or mentally disabled students or adults. I'm hoping that for the next couple weeks I will have an opportunity to work with people outside of the company!
