RISE stands for RHYTHM, IMAGINATION, SKILLBUILDING, and EMOTION.
Each lesson plan is carefully crafted using the RISE Dance Method ™. This method gets to the heart of HOW teachers connect with students and communicate their lesson plans effectively.
When a teacher applies our 4 core elements to the exercise, they will create well-organized classrooms that are rich with skill building and creative self-expression.
For every exercise, the RISE Dance Method™ applies:
(1). RHYTHM and timing with a clear beginning and end. Children respond very well to rhymes and repetition.
(2). IMAGINATION and storytelling. Everyone loves a good story! Imagery is powerful for any age.
(3). SKILLBUILDING and a plan to progress the dance skill over time.
(4). EMOTION and expression, with an emphasis on how the teacher conveys the material with tone and clear word choice.
