Dance Vibes with Ooch
Kids like music. Ooch likes music. Kids like to dance. Ooch likes to dance. PERFECT!
"Dance Vibes with Ooch" is a workshop that combines dance party vibes with line dance instruction. But don't worry, it's not the line dances our grandparents do! Ooch is up to date on the latest and greatest in party dances. PLUS, he's even made up some of his own!
This workshop was designed to teach kids dance building-blocks that can be combined to create fun group dances.
The format is simple - Warmup, learn a dance, music/water break, learn a dance, break, etc.
In addition to being a great way to exercise, organized group dancing is a good way to encourage helpfulness and teamwork with others.
"Dance Vibes with Ooch" runs approximately 60 minutes and is designed for grades 1 - 5.
This show takes the students on a journey towards self-confidence and self-expression through Ooch's personal stories of being bullied.
The show's focus is on the great power each student can develop by using his or her own unique qualities and talents, i.e., "SuperPOWERS, as Ooch calls them. These newfound "powers" are then applied to common bullying scenarios. Ooch draws parallels to the attributes of superheroes, and leaves his audience feeling "super. Just as Superman is bullet-proof, Ooch's audience learns to become "WORD-proof".
