Owen-Cox Dance Group

“Part iii, line 4a - education and outreach are important components to owen cox dance group's service to the community. The classes in the "take the stage" program are directed toward first through fifth graders at schools that are underserved by the arts. The classes are rigorous and all-inclusive, and teach that teamwork, tenacity, discipline, and joyful effort can equal success - in academics and in life. Every student participates in these high-energy classes that celebrate the best in each child. Boys and girls, whether typically developing, with physical or learning challenges or english language learners, all are at home in our program. Our classes touch upon healthy life practices and what it takes to be your best mentally, physically, and emotionally. Students participate in learning different dance moves that are taught by a former dancer and a composer/musician playing the piano. Each year the "take the stage" program presents students from its full-year schools together on stage in a live-music public performance. In 2017-2018, the owen cox program "take the stage" conducted classes for approximately 300 first through fifth grade students. Performances were held for a total audience of approximately 1,750 parents, teachers, and community members. Mid-year performances were held at each participating school, and a final showcase for all full-year schools. Additionally in 2017-2018, owen cox continued it's scholars -willing and talented program, inviting students to 20 weeks of advanced dance training and special performance opportunities.”
