Teacher Script

INTRODUCE THE BOOK & CONCEPT WITH CONFIDENCE

"This month in class we are reading Presley Panda’s Adventure where dancers are learning about self space and general space. These concepts help children understand body awareness, movement control, and spatial awareness. We also introduce mindfulness concepts like creativity, contemplation, and community so dancers learn not only how to move, but also how to work together and express themselves confidently."
