The month of October was a fun and busy one for the students in the Dance Foundations LLC!
My name is Bailey Stowell and I am the peer mentor for this LLC! I
have been able to partake in many of the Intro to Dance Making Skills class and
I have to say that it has been a very interesting and insightful experience! I
am not majoring in anything related to dance, but watching these students work
for what they are interested in is amazing. So far, the students have made
short dances based on mimicking the surrounding objects with their bodies,
worked with their environment to tell a story, and even auditioned for programs
such as our Panther Dance Team and New Dancemakers! There are always lots of
things to do and moving around for these students :)
Something super cool that has happened so far for the students in this
LLC was a guest speaker! This woman's name is Kathleen Hermesdorf. She has been a part of dance productions all the way from
California to Germany and definitely has enough knowledge and skill to show for it!
She worked with almost every dance class for a couple of days and provided the
students with the extra OOMPH that they need to be even more successful dancers
here at UWM!
If you are thinking about joining an LLC, I highly recommend it! Within
the past two months I have began to witness many great friendships sprout and
fascinating opportunities arise for these students and I hope more people show
an interest!
