 “No Bones About It”               

Grades: 1-5                                                                

When we see dancers perform amazing leaps and bends, we often ask, “How do they do that?” The Soul Street dancers exhibit ways in which our bodies can accomplish these feats by combining bone, muscle, and commands from the brain. With the aid of varied props and dance segments, Soul Street demonstrates skeletal features such as hinged joints and ball-and socket joints. By tracing the signals from the brain that tell our muscles to stretch and contract, they show us the science of dance. Combine this with a dance fantasy of how we might move if we had no bones, you have an energetic addition to your health and science curriculum.
