Dance - Mrs. Brewington
7th dance focus: We have begun to peer teach by groups and what an experience this is for all involved. With me advising and acting in a mentor capacity, the dance students are learning far more than just amazing dance steps. Peer teachering reinforces their own learning by instructing others and students begin to feel more comfortable and open when interacting with a peers. We are building intelligen, confident young women in the ACTS program.
