4 Pillar Approach to Life Skills Plus Dance!

What a Class Looks Like

1. Life Skill Focus –Life skills are explored first through dance. We start with a short interactive discussion or game highlighting the weekly skill. Each life skill is drawn from one of the 4 Pillars:

• Mindset: Growth mindset, confidence, resilience, motivation

• Social-Emotional Learning: Emotional and social intelligence, stress management

• Memory & Focus: Memory techniques, focus strategies, goal setting, habit formation

• Creativity: Adaptability, problem-solving, innovation, divergent thinking

2. Dance & Practice – Students learn dance technique and choreography while actively practicing the life skill in real time.

3. Reflection & Connection Beyond Dance–We wrap up with reflection and goal-setting. Students explore how life skills apply beyond dance. Parents receive a brief recap so skills continue beyond class.
