Five things schools can learn from this new Zoom summer camp
"The problem is, it can be hard for kids to feel like they’re “playing” when they’re interacting with a flat screen on Zoom. But because Dash Camp employs a team of trained performers, they’re skilled at reading the room and noticing when a child starts losing interest or an activity doesn’t resonate.
For instance, Ella began her dance party a little shy, so her teacher, Terri Wright, called out to her with words of encouragement, which boosted her confidence."

" Alvin Ailey Extension does free live-streamed classes on weekends—and Sunday’s Beginner Horton class, taught by Terri Wright and featuring live drum accompaniment, is a generous hour and a half. Horton, a modern technique based on Native American dances, uses a whole-body approach including lateral stretches and deep lunges. (Simply sign up at least 30 minutes in advance through Mindbody, or on their app.) "

"Terri Wright was my instructor, and if a giddy smile - ya know the kind you get when you see a perfectly shaped scoop of ice cream on top of a homemade cone - was a person, that'd be Terri. I found the routine we learned rather challenging, but if you're the type of person who takes Zumba and you do one really good pop, or maybe drop, or maybe a good lock (remember I live in the Footloose town so what are the kids doing these days?) and you think to yourself: "I should have been a dancer," take this class. Even my poorly executed Horton moves made me feel like a dancer. I went home and signed up for a slot on So You Think You Can Dance (I did later cancel it, but is that temporary confidence not rewarding in itself?)"
