We did the majority of this IPP in a council-wide event.
Skill Builder:
SB #1: We selected some warm-up exercises to prepare for participation in dance activities (we actually did several dance activities throughout the day).
SB #4: We learned 3 dances from 3 countries in different parts of the world. We learned the history behind these dances. We learned Medieval dances from Europe, Scottish highland and folk dances, and Indian belly dances. Later we performed these for younger girls at the event and helped them to learn the steps.
SB #6: We choreographed our own dance routine, selected the music from several available tapes, and performed the dance for the other scouts in attendance.
Technology:
T #5: We talked with three dancers and found out about their preparations required for their performances.
Service Projects:
SP #1: We prepared a dance to demonstrate and explain the history of to younger girls at our Juliette Gordon Low Birthday Event on 10/30/1997.
Career Exploration:
CE #3: We saw a dance performance and found the titles of jobsof people involved in the production. Later on we also attended a ballet performance and met some of the ballerinas backstage.
CE #5: We brainstormed as a group the careers/jobs related to dance. We made up a game that younger girls could play. The game was given to our council to be used at the end of this event and later on.
