Support Ms. Mulligan's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
My students are urban high school students in Chicago who have elected to take dance to fulfill their physical education requirement. Most of them have never had a dance class before, so I teach a lot of fundamentals to them. We do a unit on modern dance, one on ballet and one on hip hop. I haven't ever had enough tap shoes for everyone, so I've never been able to do a unit in Tap Dance. I am confident that they would love to learn this art form. I am looking forward to choreographing a tap dance for our annual dance showcase and showing off both their newly learned skills and their shoes!
