dancing bodies

We make anatomy fun! Learn about the musculoskeletal system through movement and dance.

Students will learn about the basic structures and functions of the musculoskeletal system ​(including bones, joints, muscles, and tendons), develop greater body awareness through anatomy-driven improvisational exercises and movement activities designed to explore different body parts, their range of movement and possibilities of the body.  

Through a series of fun and interactive exercises, students will learn through task-based improvisational activities and identify the muscle groups and joints involved in different movements.

During this 90-min session, we seek to combine scientific knowledge of the musculoskeletal system with the artistry of dance and movement, allowing students to explore and understand the body in a safe, creative and experiential way. Through movement and dance, students develop confidence and autonomy as they pick up self-directed learning skills — an essential 21st century competency.

Designed to support the learning needs of students in primary and secondary schools.
