Expect the Unexpected

School: Lee Academy, Boston, MA

4. Sarae?s Story

We planned to dance the Merengue. Our assistant teacher, Jennifer, is a dancer, and took the lead in teaching the children the Merengue. It is a partner dance, and this ended up being an important factor. Children wanted to be able to change their partners throughout our rehearsals right up until the day of the show, and the stress of ?who will I dance with?? made it difficult for some children to enjoy rehearsing and performing.

Our rehearsals were a nightmare. Children were very needy and out of control. Many kids cried each time, kids got hurt, some were running around the auditorium?why were they acting like this?!?!
