The Thodos Dance Chicago Company provides an excellent danceresidency for schools. Thodos will provide Oriole Park with anassembly of various dance styles followed by a 3 week residency.Dance instructors will come in twice a week for 3 weeks to teach5th grade in one specific dance style. The culminating event will bea performance for the entire school.

TDC’s Imagine Dance is an exciting, interactive dance assembly thateducates students about the concepts and tools employed increating dance. This program is a great way for students to learnabout the different techniques of dance and their history, includingballet, jazz, hip hop, and contemporary dance.The program contains participatory exercises requiring studentgenerated ideas and the execution of those ideas by studentsthemselves onstage. This program is suited for Grades K-8 andwould be a great introduction for a dance residency program.The type of dance instruction for the three week session will be aDance FUNdamentals course where students explore a variety ofdance techniques that include ballet, jazz, hip hop, and dancecreation. It is an exciting and innovative way to introduce to the technical,creative, and expressive qualities of dance.

Though Oriole Park offers music, art, and drama, one area that hasnot been strong is dance. In previous years there has been danceclasses offered through P.E. but nothing has been consistentthroughout the years.

With the help of this grant and a partnership with Thodos DanceChicago, Oriole Park can obtain a regular residency for studentsevery year and have the benefit of a fully enriching arts experiencethroughout their elementary career at Oriole Park.

Aside from this enriching opportunity, Oriole Park gains a regularpartnership, which we currently do not have.

Oriole Park school has a comprehensive general music class for Pre-K through 8th grade. Furthermore, there are two after schoolensembles, OPS Rock Band & OPS Rockers, where students learn to

and dance instruction to 3 through 6th grade students and start a percussion orchestra program for 6 graders. Students will

receive music and dance instruction, compose original music and choreograph original dance, attend a professional concert, and

perform original work for the school community.
