I'm looking for ideas for dance class tonite...especially my lyrical and jazz class with my "old enough to get it" girls. We've done a few exercises in lyrical to move from dancing on top of the music, to engaging heart and soul and becoming a part of the lyrics, letting them wash over us until our natural response becomes the dance. We've used phrases, dark rooms lit only by a lamp, pictures, stories and songs I was sure they could identify with....but because some of my dancers are so young, both in age and experience it just wasn't working. Until an unexpected death in our studio family changed our hearts and lives....and now we dance. I see the hurt in their eyes, the anger in their feet and my soul is happy- because they've found the meaning and why we dance.

Now onto ideas for tonight- I know some of my girlies are addicted to Ron Pope ...especially this song. It always seems to help if they're familiar with the song. If anyone has any other creative ideas- shoot em at me.
