Teachers will participate in the performance through a <br /> "Teacher Dance"and children from Kindergarten to grade 5 perform cameos during the final <br /> performance. The entire school and community,including parents and friends, are invited to the <br /> culminating large-scale performance event. Since 2005,NC AIA has reached over 3800 North <br /> Carolina students through direct instruction. Of our overall enrollment, over 50 percent receive <br /> Free and Reduced lunch. The majority of our students mirror the demographics of Holt Elementary <br /> School in Durham: 1%are Asian; 55%are Hispanic; 37%are Black; 5% are White; 0.5%are <br /> American Indian; and 2%are two or more races. <br /> Through the in-school residency model,in combination with NC Arts in Action's developed pedagogy, <br /> and in alignment with NC Essential Standards,our instructional goals include: <br /> • Use dance vocabulary to describe how elements of movement are used to communicate ideas in <br /> dance. <br /> • Understand cultural,historical,and interdisciplinary connections with dance. <br /> • Use multiple perspectives and criteria in evaluating dances. <br /> • Identify how other arts disciplines are integrated into dance creation and performance. <br /> • Explain the influence of the choreographer's vision and intent on the creative process in dance. <br /> • Interpret dance from personal,cultural,and historical contexts <br /> NC Arts In Action is grateful for your consideration of this$1,000 request to help support these schools <br /> offering this transformative program.Arts in Action reaches hundreds of public school students with an <br /> internationally acclaimed curriculum and teaching methodology that truly changes lives. NC AIA looks <br /> forward to the opportunity to continue this important partnership with the Orange County Arts <br /> Commission to support children and schools most at need in our community. <br />
