 BoSoma Dance Company can be hired to perform or teach at a variety of events including corporate dinners, gala events, elementary through high school arts education programming, festivals, university master classes and more! The company has developed a variety of high quality programming designed to accommodate your needs.
Workshops Topics: Stories in Motion This topic will focus on how dance can tell a story. It will teach children how to create and interpret stories through movement. The workshop will relate the student’s composition and story telling/writing tools learned in their English class to creating choreography. Students will learn what some of the movements in our choreography mean and will come up with their own meaningful movements. Math and Science Matters This topic focuses on basic physics and numbers. This workshop is designed to introduce children to how choreographers use numbers and music mathematically to create choreography and movement patterns. Science topics will also integrate and teach the importance of knowing the human anatomy and gravity, which allows dancers to be able to move through space. Elementary  Age: K – 6th Grade
Duration: 1 hour Workshop I is a 1-hour class designed for K through 6th graders with little or no dance experience to those that are presently taking dance classes. The workshop will not focus specifically on dance technique, but will focus on movement creation and mind/body challenges offering children the opportunity to work as a group and as individuals by learning a task to be accomplished in a particular amount of time in a group or solo and then performing the final product for the class. These ‘games’ or ‘tasks’ are designed to inspire strong leader and follower qualities, to build confidence in oneself, to o pen doors and avenues for movement creativity and to increase physical activity, musicality and coordination levels.  Middle and High School Age: 7th – 12th Grade Duration: 1 hour Workshop II is a 1-hour class designed for 7th – 12th graders with little or no dance experience to those that are presently taking dance classes. This workshop, as in Workshop I, will not focus specifically on dance technique, but will focus on movement creation and mind/body challenges offering children the opportunity to work as a group and as individuals by le arning a task to be accomplished in a particular amount of time in a group or solo and then performing the final product for the class. In Workshop II, BoSoma will also introduce movement studies focused on how Anatomy and Kinesiology are intimately related to dance training as well as the techniques behind choreography. This Workshop will also compare that of the student’s English Composition class to Choreography Composition which allows an clear understanding of how a choreographer processes to come to the end result of a piece of work much like an essay. These ‘games’ or ‘tasks’ are designed to inspire strong leader and follower qualities, to build confidence in oneself, to open doors and avenues for movement creativity and to increase physical activity, musicality and coordination levels. Lecture Demonstration: Elementary - Pre-Professional Duration: 1hour Workshop III is a 1-hour Lecture Demonstration, which will be age specific, designed for all groups K - 12th graders to University.
