Congratulations on reaching this exciting stage of the ArtsAround program! This is where we transition from Music to Dance—a step that opens up new opportunities for creativity, movement, and connection in your classroom.
We know that introducing dance can feel a bit daunting, both for students and for you as an ArtsAround Integration Teacher (AIT). That’s why we’ve created this guide—to be your cheerleader, your go-to resource, and your confidence booster as you guide your students through this journey.
Inside, you’ll find practical tips, strategies, and encouragement to help you create an inclusive, fun, and supportive dance environment. From formations and warmups to empowering mentors and celebrating every student, this guide is designed to make your dance term flow smoothly.
Remember, you’re not alone in this. Your effort, humor, and positivity will set the tone for your students and inspire them to step out of their comfort zones. And don’t forget—this isn’t about perfect moves; it’s about having fun, building confidence, and creating moments of joy.
We’re so proud of the work you do and grateful to be part of your classroom journey. Let’s move, groove, and make this term a memorable one!
