Chinese New Year - Dragon Dance

The Dragon Dance

Dragons are of course legendary animals, but they are important to Chinese people who think of dragons as helpful, friendly creatures. They are linked to good luck, long life and wisdom. They have special powers so they can fly in the air, swim in the sea and walk on land. Dragon dances are performed at Chinese New Year to scare away evil spirits.

A Dance about the Environment - Italy

About the project

Aims:

To share culture and diversity with many European countries. To learn about own culture through dance and then to teach the dance to another country and in doing so learn to perform and appreciate.

Work process:

In September each country will learn a traditional dance of their country. By the end of November each country will hang the video of their dance on a blog. In December, through video conference, each country will be given one country and they have to learn that country´s dance. By May each country should hang the learnt dance´s video to be voted.

Expected results:

Different classes from each school will choose a dance to perform. They will research the appropriate music and make costumes. In May 2012 there will be a competition 'Let's Dance' and a panel of judges made up of pupils from each country will vote on the best learned dance.
